In honor of Messi, the Argentine Football Federation decides to retire the number 10 jersey when Leo leaves football. The Argentine Football Federation has decided to withdraw the number 10 jersey worn by Lionel Messi from circulation when the captain of the “Albiceleste” retires from playing football.
This decision has also been confirmed by Claudio Tapia, the head of the federation. “La Pulga” aims to win another Copa America with his team and for this reason, he has skipped the gathering with Inter Miami, missing seven matches for the MLS team, as reported by abcnews.
“When Messi says goodbye, we will not allow anyone else to wear the number 10 after him. In his honor, the jersey with that number will be retired from use. This is the least we can do for him,” declared Claudio Tapia, president of the Argentine Football Federation.
