Lionel Messi’s career with Argentina is set to come to an end in a friendly against Benin, marking the close of an international era for one of football’s most prominent players.
Messi, who is 39, is now facing questions about what comes next after his Argentina career. The available details indicate that his future plans extend beyond playing, with potential roles as an owner and businessman forming part of the next stage of his career.
The match against Benin will therefore carry significance beyond its status as a friendly. It is expected to provide the setting for Messi’s final appearance for Argentina, although no further details about the fixture or his plans have been provided.
With his international career approaching its conclusion, attention will turn to how Messi balances his continued involvement in football with his ambitions away from the pitch.
