Lionel Messi’s Argentina Jerseys Are Sold Out Worldwide

Lionel Messi fans hoping to purchase his official Argentina jersey following the soccer star’s first-ever FIFA World Cup victory may be disappointed.

Adidas has sold out of Messi and Argentina team jerseys worldwide, telling CNN that it is “working to meet the extraordinary demand for jerseys and more stock will be available soon.”

Argentina defeated France in a penalty shootout to win the 2022 World Cup in Qatar on Sunday, in one of the most exciting finals in tournament history. Messi scored twice in his fifth World Cup appearance, cementing his place as a football legend.

Messi’s Adidas jerseys had been sold out even before the game, according to multiple reports. A search on Adidas’ website reveals that generic Argentina jerseys are sold out, but other team items, such as a basketball top and T-shirts, are still available.

Amazon searches for Messi Argentina jerseys reveal that they are also sold out. A few jerseys are selling for as much as $500 on StockX, a popular reseller website. Messi jerseys from his European club, Paris Saint-Germain, are, however, widely available online.

Don’t worry, Adidas (ADDDF) has announced that new merchandise will be available soon.

“Since their history-making win we have produced a range of immediately available celebratory apparel and we will also create a brand new version of their iconic jersey, featuring three stars to mark their third World Championship, for fans around the globe as soon as possible,” the company said.

Adidas’ bottom line has benefited from the World Cup. Adidas sold approximately $424 million (€400 million) in “event-related sales” in the fourth quarter, with soccer merchandise increasing by 30% year on year in the first nine months of 2022. Adidas also stated that this year’s World Cup is “seeing stronger demand” than the previous tournament.
