The Argentine Football Association (AFA) has announced a special tribute to Lionel Messi, who led Argentina to the 2022 FIFA World Cup title in Qatar. In the coming days, all home matches will be paused at the 10th minute, during which fans will stand in silence to honor Messi's contributions to the national team. This gesture follows Messi's recent announcement of his retirement from international play. The tribute includes a video replay on stadium screens featuring Messi, who continues to play for the American club Inter Miami in the MLS. The AFA emphasized that this moment will allow fans to reflect on Messi's legacy and pay homage to him. Messi, born in Rosario, has worn the number 10 jersey for Argentina and achieved numerous accolades, including Copa América titles and the 2022 World Cup victory.
