The ticket prices for the Argentina–Benin match — which is expected to be Lionel Messi’s final appearance in national team colors — have now been announced.
The encounter is scheduled for October 6, 2026 at the Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires, with the Argentine Football Association dedicating the occasion to the farewell of its captain, aged 39.
According to The Touchline, the rates vary by category. The cheapest seats start at around $19, while a standard general admission ticket costs $59. Upper-tier seats are offered at $119 or $211, mid-tier seats at $211 or $316, and the most expensive option in the lower tier is sold for $296. This means the most expensive tickets cost more than 16 times the price of the cheapest.
The match against Benin is part of a series of Argentina friendlies after the 2026 World Cup. Before this encounter, the team will face Bolivia on September 30 in Córdoba, then Burkina Faso on October 3 in Buenos Aires.
For Messi, this match carries particular significance, as he has announced his international retirement after more than two decades representing Argentina. With the national team, the forward has won the 2022 World Cup and the Copa América twice — in 2021 and 2024.
