“The reigning world champions became the first representatives of CONMEBOL to qualify for the next World Cup and will certainly be dreaming of winning the fourth star. It is not easy to maintain such a high level for a long time and Argentina did it. Congratulations to everyone, the whole team, as well as Lionel Scaloni and Chiqui Tapia.
Looking forward to seeing Leo Messi play in his sixth World Cup. This is an unprecedented event that only confirms the historic nature of next year’s World Cup.
Soccer idols like Messi have played a crucial role in the development of our sport in the United States. Messi is a recognized and respected idol in a country where American football, baseball and basketball are devotedly followed. He is a true ambassador who continues to break records in the MLS,” Infantino emphasized.
