The wait for the football fans is about to end as Argentina's superstar Lionel Messi is set to take on the field at the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026. Argentina will begin the campaign by playing a clash against Algeria at the Kansas City Stadium in Missouri.

The 38-year-old footballer will be participating in his record sixth World Cup, after leading his side to glory in the previous edition. Earlier, he suffered an injury scare when he left Inter Miami's 6-4 win over Philadelphia last month.
