Why Age 35 in 2022 Was Significant
The age figure is more than a number for jersey collectors and fans it highlights where Messi was in his career arc and what shirts from that year represent.
Club career context
At age 35 in mid 2022, Messi was in his second season with Paris Saint Germain (PSG), having joined in August 2021 at age 34. That club season overlaps with much of 2022. Shirts from that period reflect his number, sponsor layout and season design used during his age 35 year.
International peak at age 35
2022 was a landmark year internationally for Messi. At age 35 he captained the Argentina national football team to victory in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. That triumph marks one of the most collectible jersey moments tied to the season when Messi was 35. For collectors browsing our catalogue, that age milestone anchors a specific edition of Argentina shirts that correspond to his age during that tournament.
