Lionel Messi hasn't ruled out making another run with Argentina at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Inter Miami's Lionel Messi added another award to his collection on Thursday. Messi became the first recipient of the MARCA America Award, presented by the Spain-based media company. The award recognizes Messi's championship-laden career — one with a record 46 trophies won for club or country, and at least 56 other awards on the individual level.
Miami will have home-field advantage throughout the MLS Cup playoffs which begin next week. 'I was able to achieve the biggest prize, which is the World Cup,' said Messi, who had three goals and two assists in a 6-0 Argentina romp past Bolivia in a World Cup qualifier on Tuesday. 'It is the trophy all of us want when we start playing and I managed to fulfill my dream. We won many titles in Barcelona, Paris. Now we are here with the objective to fight hard for another title.
