Reported weight figures across his career

While exact documented weight figures for Messi in the calendar year 2006 are not widely published, several credible sources provide benchmarks:

• A historical profile at Britannica states he weighed 148 pounds (approximately 67 kg) during his early career when he measured 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in)
• The statistical site PlaymakerStats lists his weight as 66 kg when detailing his 2005/06 season attributes
• Other more recent profiles list his weight at 72 kg, a figure from later career stages

From this we see a consistency of around 66–67 kg for Messi’s early senior years, with an increase later in his career

Estimated weight in 2006

Considering that Messi was still a teenager—aged 18 in June 2005 and 19 by mid-2006 and that the figures noted above place him at 66–67 kg during that time, a reasoned estimate for his weight in 2006 is about 66 kg (approximately 145 lbs). This estimate assumes that his physique had not yet reached the heavier weight he would carry in later years.

To display this in table form:

It remains important to emphasise that no official record publicly states the exact weight of Messi at a specific date in 2006. The figure above is an estimate based on available sources and typical adult athlete progression.

Why the weight figure matters

For collectors and fans of jerseys, especially those looking at early season kits, knowing the physical profile of a player offers subtle insight into how the kit might have fit when worn by that player. For Messi:

• His reported height of 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in) and weight around 66–67 kg indicate a lean, agile athlete rather than a bulky performer.
• This athletic build complements his playing style characterised by low centre of gravity, acceleration and dribbling agility.

One limitation in using these numbers is that many public sources report a static “current” weight rather than a year-specific figure. Additionally, weight can fluctuate through the season according to training load, muscle gain and other factors. As a result any number given for 2006 should be treated as best-approximate rather than authoritative
