Messi Faces Suspension After World Cup Final
Argentine football star Lionel Messi will be absent from the 2026 All-Star Game in Major League Soccer, scheduled for July 29 in Charlotte, due to his commitment to taking a rest period following Argentina's loss in the World Cup final to Spain. This absence aligns with the recommendation of the International Federation of Professional Footballers (FIFPRO), which advises players to take at least 21 days off after the end of the season. Despite still being mid-season with his club, Inter Miami, Messi's break is considered necessary. It is expected that Messi will also miss Inter Miami's upcoming matches against Chicago Fire and Montreal, with his absence expected to extend until the All-Star Game, and it may be temporary until his rest period concludes.
