Lionel Messi is gearing up to lead Argentina to the 2024 Copa America to defend the title they won three years ago in Brazil, and the fans in the United States are loving him.
The tournament will be played in the United States, where Messi currently plays his club football with Inter Miami after moving to Major League Soccer last year.
This year's tournament could be his last major outing for the national team, even though there is optimism he could feature in the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be held in the same country.

The world champions will open the defence of their title against Canada on Friday at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta and arrive at the team hotel days before the match.
As seen in a video shared on X by DSports, fans gathered outside the team hotel and chanted “Messi, Messi” as the players entered the premises.
According to Sportico, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where the match will take place, has an artificial turf, which the 36-year-old had reportedly expressed concern about when he came to MLS.
He missed Miami's visit to the stadium last year due to fitness issues, and his team was beaten 5-2. Unless something drastic happens, he will play on the turf during Copa.
