Western media: Messi may announce whether he will participate in the 2026 World Cup in the next few days

6686 Sports, October 26 According to a report by Spain's "AS", Messi is expected to announce in the next few days whether he will participate in the 2026 World Cup after officially renewing his contract with Inter Miami. This news has touched the hearts of fans around the world, especially since he had previously said frankly that "the most likely scenario is that I will not participate", making his participation in the World Cup a matter of suspense.

Messi has signed a new three-year contract with Inter Miami, ending all speculation about his future at the club. Next, the focus of the outside world will be on whether he will participate in the 2026 World Cup.

If Messi finally participates, he will be expected to become the first player in history to appear in the World Cup six times together with Cristiano Ronaldo (if Portugal advances and Cristiano Ronaldo will accompany the team). This will be an unprecedented feat in the history of football.

Although Messi has realized his biggest career dream-leading his team to win the championship in 2022, countless Argentine fans still look forward to seeing him again on the World Cup stage. It is reported that Messi will personally explain his thoughts and decisions to the public through a publicity campaign for his personal endorsement brand. By then, the suspense over whether Messi will participate in the 2026 World Cup will be resolved.
