Messi is unlikely to attend the 2024 Paris Olympics even though he is on the list of players being considered.
Argentinian press reported that the country’s Football Federation has confirmed that two players Julian Alvarez and Nicolas Otamendi are definitely over 23 years old who will participate in the 2024 Paris Olympic men’s soccer match.

The remaining face is expected to be Lionel Messi, but according to many reporters from the South American country, the last person chosen is likely to be goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.
Thus, the possibility of Messi attending the Paris Olympics is not high. This superstar also won a gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, so attending the 2024 Paris Olympics to get more gold is not the top goal.
In addition, Messi will also attend the Copa America this June, so fitness will be a problem for the 37-year-old superstar if he continues to attend the Paris Olympics in July. In men’s soccer at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Argentina is in Group B. with the teams of Morocco, Iraq and Ukraine.
The goal of the Argentine Olympics is the gold medal. Teams participating in the Olympics will register a list of up to 18 players with the organizers, including no more than 3 people over 23 years old. This year’s tournament takes place at 7 stadiums in France from July 24 to August 9.
