Messi mourns father's passing at 68
Jorge Messi, the father of star Argentine footballer Lionel Messi, has passed away at the age of 68 after a long battle with illness in the Argentine city of Rosario. Jorge was a main supporter of the football legend, serving as a mentor and responsible for organizing his life and career from the very beginning. He accompanied Messi through important medical treatments and during his transfer to Barcelona. Despite staying out of the spotlight, he was always present behind the scenes, and his absence during the 2026 World Cup drew attention—especially as Messi reminded everyone of the impact his family had and the support they provided during difficult times.
