Athletistic / Football. Argentina national team captain and forward Lionel Messi said the 2024 America’s Cup in the United States would be the last of his career. During the tournament, he turned 37.
“The truth is that it’s a difficult tournament for us because all the America’s Cup teams are playing more evenly than ever before, and in the United States there are very bad pitches and very high temperatures…
“I can confirm once again that this is the last America’s Cup for me. Me, Di Maria and Otamendi have already played in the last World Cup, and now we are playing the last matches together and making the most of it,” Messi said as quoted by Mundo Deportivo.
The Argentine national team will face Colombia in the final of the 2024 Amrika Cup. The decisive match of the tournament will take place on the night of July 15 in Miami (Florida, USA) and will start at 15:00 Moscow time.
The Argentine national team is the current winner of the America’s Cup. In 2021, at a tournament in Brazil, the Albiceleste defeated the Brazilians in the final with a score of 1:0. At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the Argentines beat France in the final (3:3, 4:2 on penalties) and became world champions for the third time.
