Lionel Messi will wear a special commemorative Argentina shirt created specifically for his farewell when he plays his last international match against Benin at the Monumental Stadium on October 6. The kit, produced by Adidas, features gold details and tributes to the legendary No 10.
Special shirt details
The traditional sky-blue and white colours remain, but the shirt includes striking gold details on the Argentina crest, numbers and what appear to be goat horns. The most distinctive feature is the Sun of May, a symbol from the Argentine flag, incorporated across the front and back of the shirt.
Messi's personal logo appears on the chest, while his name and famous number 10 are presented in gold. Messi teased the shirt on social media with the message: "Último partido… Una camiseta para toda la vida" — translated as "Last match... A shirt for a lifetime."
Where to buy the shirt
The commemorative collection went on sale internationally on September 25 on the Adidas website. It is being sold as part of a wider Messi and Argentina collection, including other items created for the farewell.
Messi bows out after 21 years, 125 goals and a World Cup triumph with Argentina.
