Lionel Messi wore the number 19 jersey for the Argentine national team during the early years of his international career, including the 2002 FIFA World Cup held in South Korea and Japan. At that time, Messi was just 18 years old and was one of the youngest players to participate in a World Cup.
However, Messi did not have a significant impact during the 2002 tournament. He was not a regular starter and played only a limited role in the matches. Argentina was eliminated in the group stage, which was a disappointment given the high expectations for the team.
While the 2002 World Cup was not a standout moment for Messi, it marked the beginning of his international journey. He would go on to become one of the greatest footballers in history, eventually wearing the number 10 jersey for Argentina and leading the team to numerous successes, including winning the Copa America in 2021 and the FIFA World Cup in 2022.
