The retirement of Lionel Messi from the Argentine national team has disrupted the team's immediate future. This change comes less than three weeks before the team's scheduled reunion for the FIFA date from September 21 to October 6. The departure of the 2022 World Cup champion captain puts a spotlight on the team's roster, which may face more unexpected changes.

Some players have already announced their own departures. The team's next major objective is the 2028 Copa América, although details about upcoming tournaments are not fully confirmed. Further information about the team's situation and future plans is available from analysis by Federico Leiva on CNN en Español.
