# Will Lionel Messi play for Argentina again in 2026?

Settled · $4,216 traded · listed on Polymarket

## Result

**Yes** won. Settled 2026-10-07.

## About

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Lionel Messi appears in at least one match for the Argentina senior men's national team played between September 1, 2026 and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. 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. Competitive matches and friendly matches both count.

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