Lionel Messi’s father, Jorge Messi, has died at the age of 68 after a long illness, his family confirmed. Jorge died Friday night at a medical clinic in Rosario, Argentina, after spending his final months between medical treatment and his family home.

Jorge Messi was a major figure throughout Lionel Messi’s extraordinary football career, supporting his son from his early years at Barcelona and later working as his representative. The news comes after an emotional period for Lionel, who captained Argentina at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and spent time with his father following the tournament.

During the World Cup, Messi broke down in tears after scoring against Algeria. He later said the emotion was linked to difficult personal circumstances unrelated to football, before his family confirmed that Jorge was undergoing medical treatment.
