    Why Lionel Messi isn't on Argentina's Olympics roster for Paris in 2024

    If you’re watching Argentina play in the 2024 Paris Olympics, you may be wondering: where’s Lionel Messi?

    The answer is that he’s not on Argentina’s team this time around, and there’s a good reason why.

    Given that he just played the Copa America and helped his country in the title there, he said he wouldn’t join the team given how much of a workload he’d be shouldering, especially at his age, and given his absence from his current team, the MLS’s Inter Miami. The injury he suffered in the Copa America final might have kept him out for a bit anyway.

    There you have it! Argentina could still make a run at gold in Paris, though, even without him.
