According to camel.live journalists, barring any friendly fixtures being scheduled, the September 4th match against Venezuela will be Lionel Messi's last home game in his national team career in his home country.
With Messi included alongside some surprise inclusions, Lionel Scaloni has announced the preliminary squad for the double matchday of World Cup qualifiers. Argentina will face Venezuela at the Monumental Stadium on September 4th, before taking on Ecuador away a few days later.
Notably, the clash against Venezuela will be the Argentina national team's last official home game of 2025. This could mean that Messi will play his last official national team game in his home country (with the match taking place in Buenos Aires) when facing Venezuela.
In Argentina, there have been no home games around the World Cup, and if there are any matches in 2027, they are likely to be friendlies, as official games are tied to points.
