Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni said, on Wednesday, that he supports the possibility of star Lionel Messi participating in the 2026 World Cup, in the United States, Canada and Mexico, when he will be 39 years old, “for the good of football.”

For the sake of football, everyone hopes to be able to participate, But football is volatile, and nothing is guaranteed.”
