Why Age 37 in 2024 Is Significant in the Messi Era
Age alone does not define a player’s performance, but it does provide a marker in their career arc. For Messi, age 37 corresponds with an advanced phase of his career, a major move, and a new context for collectors of his shirts.
Club career phase
During 2024, Messi remained with Inter Miami, having joined in July 2023. His age 37 phase overlaps with the 2024 Major League Soccer (MLS) season and reflects shirts produced in that campaign. Given his move from Europe to the United States, jerseys from this period mark a distinct era in his career.
International and legacy context
In 2024 Lionel Messi continued as captain of the Argentina national football team and was preparing for potential further tournaments. His age 37 year, therefore, is tied to his post World Cup status (following the 2022 triumph) and the twilight phase of his international career. For fans and collectors, shirts from this age carry historical weight.
