Lionel Messi's Argentina is set to play exhibitions against Ecuador and Guatemala in June before defending its Copa América title. Despite rumors of Messi playing at the Paris Olympics, logistical challenges make it unlikely. Messi, a two-time FIFA Best Men's Player award winner, is unlikely to join Argentina in Paris due to commitments to the Copa América, Olympics, and Leagues Cup. Argentina also plans to play four friendlies in the US this year, including a potential match at Soldier Field.
