The Argentina national football team is scheduled to play exhibition games against Nigeria and Ivory Coast in China from March 18-26. This international commitment makes it likely that Lionel Messi will miss Inter Miami’s Major League Soccer (MLS) game at the New York Red Bulls on March 23.
The Argentina Football Association has announced that the team will face Nigeria in Hangzhou and Ivory Coast in Beijing during this tour. The specific dates of these matches are yet to be announced. Given Messi’s involvement with the Argentina national team during this period, it’s anticipated that he will not be available for Inter Miami’s MLS game against the New York Red Bulls.
This international fixture period requires clubs to release players for national team duties, impacting the availability of key players for their respective club matches. Inter Miami, which is starting its first full season with Lionel Messi, will be without him for the game against the Red Bulls due to his commitment to the Argentina national team during this time.
