Messi Weight 2013
For collectors and fans of football kits, understanding a player’s physical profile at specific career stages adds valuable context. In the case of Lionel Messi, estimating his weight in the year 2013 allows a fuller view of his athletic frame during a significant period at FC Barcelona and with the Argentina national team

Reported weight figures around that time
Exact, date-specific weight figures for Messi in 2013 are not publicly detailed in official records. However, a review of credible sources provides relevant data points:
- The SoFIFA database for FIFA 13 lists his weight at 67 kg (148 lbs)
- A profile from Topend Sports lists his weight more generally at 67 kg
- Other more recent listings (for his later career) indicate a weight of 72 kg (159 lbs)
From these data we infer that during the early 2010s Messi’s weight remained in the mid-60 kg range before his physique matured further to the higher weight listed in later years
Estimated weight for 2013
Considering the listings of 67 kg around 2012–13, and the fact that in 2013 Messi was 26 years old and had reached a high level of physical development not yet carrying the higher mass seen in his later years a reasoned estimate for his weight in 2013 would be around 67 kg (approximately 148 lbs). This estimate corresponds with the data points above and aligns with his physical profile at that time
Why the figure matters and its limitations
For fans, collectors and analysts, knowing a player’s approximate weight at a given time offers useful insight:
- Messi’s height is widely listed as 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in)
- A reported weight around 67 kg suggests a lean and agile athlete consistent with Messi’s playing style characterised by dribbling agility, rapid acceleration and a low centre of gravity
However, certain limitations should be recognised. Many public profiles report a general or current weight rather than figures pinned to a specific year. Additionally, weight can fluctuate due to training regimes, muscle development injury recovery or seasonal changes. As such, any estimate for 2013 must be treated as an informed approximation rather than an exact measurement
Relevance for jersey collectors and fans
When browsing kit collections from around 2013 such as Barcelona’s 2012–13 season shirts or Argentina national team jerseys from that era—understanding Messi’s physical profile adds another dimension:
- Knowing he likely weighed around 67 kg allows visualisation of how a replica jersey would have hung on his frame slim yet athletic.
- When exploring our selection of kits such as the Barcelona 2012–13 home jersey or Argentina national team shirt from that period you may consider how the player’s physique tied to the design fit and sizing. For example, check out the Barcelona 2012–13 collection on jerseys4pro
