The Argentine Football Association (AFA) has announced that all matches across the country’s men’s and women’s competitions will be briefly stopped during the 10th minute of play to honour Argentina captain Lionel Messi.
The stoppage will last for one minute and will feature applause from players, officials and supporters in recognition of Messi’s remarkable career and contribution to the Argentine national team.
According to the AFA, the tribute is intended to celebrate Messi’s legacy and his achievements with Argentina over the years.
The decision to pause matches in the 10th minute is symbolic, as Messi has famously worn the No. 10 shirt throughout his international career.
Messi has enjoyed a historic spell with Argentina, helping the national team win major international honours and cementing his status as one of the greatest players in the country’s football history.
The tribute will be observed in both men’s and women’s competitions, giving football fans across Argentina an opportunity to celebrate the legendary forward.
The one-minute applause is expected to create an emotional moment in stadiums across the country as Argentine football honours Messi and his contribution to the national team.
The tribute comes after Messi announced his retirement from international football, bringing an end to a 20-year career with Argentina.
