Aug. 7 (UPI) -- Argentina will not push Lionel Messi for a decision on his future, including at 2028 Copa America or the 2030 World Cup, Argentina Football Association president Claudio Tapia said.
Tapia spoke about the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner during an interview with TyC Sports.
"It's a purely personal decision for him," Tapia said. "We have to leave him alone. In 2022, we didn't know if he was going to play in 2026. He said it was one game at a time, and I think we've seen a great version, if not the best, of Leo in a World Cup.
"We have to let him continue enjoying playing football, and then let him make the decision he feels is right."
