# Will Lionel Messi play at the 2028 Copa America?

Live · $369 traded · listed on Polymarket

## About

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Lionel Messi appears in at least one match for Argentina at the 2028 Copa America. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

An appearance means taking the field, whether as a starter or as a substitute, for any length of time. Being named in the squad or on the bench without taking the field does not count.

If Argentina does not take part in the 2028 Copa America, this market will resolve to "No".

If the 2028 Copa America is cancelled, postponed after August 1, 2028, 11:59 PM ET, or Messi has not appeared in a match at the tournament within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "No".

The resolution source for this market will be official information from CONMEBOL; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
