For the next Paraguay-Argentina, the Paraguayan federation is imposing a new rule: a ban on entering the stadium with a Messi flocked jersey! Lionel Messi, whether he wears the Albiceleste, Barcelona or Inter Miami jersey, will be absent from the stands due to this law aimed at painting the stadium in the colors of Paraguay.

An “anti-Messi law” to heat up Paraguayan supporters

The idea, validated by Fernando Villasboa, head of Paraguayan football, is to create a patriotic atmosphere to support the local team. This measure, already applied against Brazil for Vinícius Jr, aims to avoid excesses and strengthen the atmosphere. However, the ban is divisive, restricting the expression of Messi supporters in a crucial qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup.
