Soccer superstar Lionel Messi is set to play his final international match for Argentina against Benin on October 6 at Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires. This friendly game marks his retirement from international football, announced in August. To commemorate this significant event, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) and adidas have launched a special edition jersey. Unlike the traditional Albiceleste kit, this new design features a single white stripe down the center of a light blue base, mimicking the Argentinian flag and incorporating a tonal sun pattern. Gold accents, Messi’s signature logo, and a commemorative number 10 detail adorn the shirt. The jersey will be paired with black shorts and white socks, all featuring bespoke Messi branding. An entire Messi x Argentina collection, including pre-match and culture wear, is also available for purchase online.
