Lionel Messi's final appearance for Argentina is getting a special kit collection.

Footy Headlines has leaked official images of Adidas' commemorative Argentina collection created for Messi's farewell against Benin at the Estadio Monumental on October 6, 2026.

The collection includes three designs: a special Argentina home shirt, a goalkeeper version and a pre-match shirt.

The standout piece is the bespoke player shirt, which moves away from Argentina's traditional striped design.

It features a sky-blue base with a broad white central stripe, while Messi's personal “M” logo appears in metallic gold on the chest instead of the usual Adidas performance logo. The Argentina crest also carries gold detailing, while the back features gold MESSI 10 lettering and a special Sun of May design.

The collection is designed specifically to mark the end of Messi's international career.

Messi announced his retirement from international football before agreeing to return for one final appearance on home soil. FIFA confirmed that the 39-year-old will play his last Argentina match against Benin at the Monumental on October 6.

Messi has already given supporters a glimpse of the special shirt, sharing it on social media alongside the message: “One last match... A jersey for a lifetime.”

Now, the leaked images give fans a look at the wider collection that will surround his final night in the famous blue and white.

After more than two decades with Argentina, Messi is preparing to wear the national-team shirt for the final time.

And Adidas appears determined to make sure the occasion gets a kit worthy of the moment.
