.jpg&w=3840&q=75)
Lionel Messi has decided to retire from international play with the Argentina national team, amid calls to retire the number 10 jersey in his honor, similar to what happened with Diego Maradona. Although the Argentine Football Association announced their intention to retire the number at the end of his career, FIFA's regulations officially prohibit doing so, especially in official matches like the World Cup, where only numbers from 1 to 26 are permitted. Therefore, it is expected that this number will be worn for friendly matches as a tribute to Messi, but officially retiring the number as was done with Maradona will not be straightforward according to the rules.
