Reported weight figures around that time

Exact verified weight for Messi on a specific date in 2009 is not widely published. However, credible sources provide a profile of his build during that era:

• The simulation database SoFIFA lists Messi’s weight in the FIFA 09 version (reflecting 2008/09) as 67 kg (148 lbs)
• PlaymakerStats lists his weight as 66 kg for the 2008-09 season
• Other sources list his weight at 72 kg in later years, reflecting physical maturation

These data points indicate that during the late 2000s Messi’s weight was consistently in the mid-60 kg range before increasing in later years

Estimated weight for 2009

Considering the weight listings around 66–67 kg during the nearby seasons and the fact that in 2009 Messi was 22 years old, still entering his prime, a reasoned estimate of his weight in 2009 is approximately 67 kg (about 148 lbs). This estimate aligns with the available data and reflects his physical profile at that time.

Why the figure matters and its limitations

For collectors, fans and analysts, knowing a player’s approximate weight at a given career stage provides enhanced insight:

• Messi’s height is widely listed as 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in)
• A weight around 67 kg portrays an athlete who is lean and quick qualities aligned with his dribbling, rapid acceleration and low centre of gravity

However, limitations must be acknowledged: many public sources report a general or current weight rather than a weight pinned to a particular year. Furthermore, weight fluctuates due to training, conditioning, muscle development or minor injury. Thus any figure for 2009 should be viewed as a plausible estimate rather than an exact measurement

Relevance for jersey collectors and fans

When browsing early-career kits such as Barcelona’s 2008-09 season apparel or Argentina kits from that period understanding Messi’s physical profile can enhance appreciation:

• Knowing he likely weighed around 67 kg offers insight into how a replica jersey would have draped on his frame slim yet athletic.
• When examining our selection of early Messi-era kits such as the Barcelona 2008-09 home jersey or an Argentina national shirt from that era you can consider how the player’s body shape interacts with the cut and styling of the jersey.

Aligning your kit purchase or viewing with understanding of his physical stage lends additional dimension to the collecting experience beyond design or numbering
