Lionel Messi has officially retired from international football, marking his final appearance for Argentina in the 2026 World Cup final, which they lost 1-0 to Spain. However, fans are eager to see him have a farewell game. Argentine outlet Diario Ole recently conducted a poll, asking supporters where they would like Messi to play his final match for Argentina.

The poll garnered over 17,000 votes within just 12 hours, with River Plate's stadium emerging as the clear favorite, receiving 61% of the vote. Newell's Old Boys stadium followed in second place with 18% of the vote, while La Bombonera garnered 16% and an additional option for another stadium received 5%. As of the current report, there are no confirmed plans for Messi to participate in a farewell game, but Argentina has canceled their Asia tour scheduled for the September international break, opting to play three matches within their own country instead.
