China allows Leo Messi's Argentina shirt as official school uniform: Reports

One of the most recognisable personalities in football history is Lionel Messi. Messi started playing football early in life and soon established himself as a remarkable talent. At the age of 13, he enrolled in FC Barcelona's development system in 2000, and three years later, he made his first team debut. 

Messi immediately made a name for himself as one of the best players of his generation in the years that followed. He has helped Barcelona win several titles, including four Champions League victories and ten La Liga crowns, and has received various individual honours, including a record eight Ballon d'Or.

Messi has had several difficulties during his career, despite his achievements on the field. As a kid, he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficit, which led to costly therapy and financial hardship for his family. He led Argentina to a Copa America victory in 2021, earning his first significant international championship. A year later, he assisted his nation in winning its third FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Messi is well-known for his charitable endeavours off the field. The Leo Messi Foundation, which he founded, seeks to better the lives of underprivileged kids everywhere. In his homeland of Rosario, Argentina, he has also been active in a number of humanitarian endeavours, such as an effort to construct a children's hospital. Currently in Fuzhou, China, Lionel Messi Argentina’s jersey will be used as school uniform for kids who are under 12. This is big news for the Leo Messi fan club.
