This market will resolve to "Yes" if the number of goals Lionel Messi scores during the 2026 FIFA World Cup equals or exceeds the listed number. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Only goals scored during regular time, stoppage time, or extra time count. Only goals credited on FIFA's official scoresheet will count. Penalty shootout goals do not count. Own goals do not count toward the final total. If Lionel Messi does not play in the 2026 FIFA World Cup for any reason, this market will resolve to "No". If the 2026 FIFA World Cup is cancelled, postponed after August 2, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or it cannot be determined how many goals Lionel Messi scored within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "50-50". The resolution source for this market will be official information from FIFA; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Messi, now 38 and playing in MLS with Inter Miami, is widely expected to feature in his sixth World Cup as Argentina defend their 2022 title, with the tournament opening June 11 across North America. Recent inclusion on the official roster, private discussions with coach Lionel Scaloni, and continued positive fitness updates have strengthened trader expectations of his participation. With 13 career World Cup goals, he sits three shy of Miroslav Klose’s all-time record, creating additional incentive in what is viewed as his likely international finale. Key variables include his minutes load after a domestic season, Argentina’s group stage path and knockout progression, stylistic fit in a supporting role behind younger attackers, and any late fitness or selection decisions that could cap his appearances.
