One of the most popular pieces of autographed Lionel Messi merch online is this signed World Cup soccer ball. Messi’s signature is seen on the side of this polyurethane ball, with his black marker autograph set against the soccer ball’s multi-color design.
Messi’s signature adorns the back of this official 2026 FIFA World Cup Argentina jersey, which was once again released in partnership with Adidas. The blue and white stripes of the South American nation is once again the foundation of this jersey, with Messi’s autograph seen in silver over a sporty, stylized number 10 on the back of the shirt.
In addition to the Adidas and AFA logos on the front, there is also a FIFA logo in gold. The back of the jersey also has the number 1893, a nod to the founding year of the Argentine Football Association.
This piece features the star’s autograph on the front chest of Argentina’s 2024-25 home kit. Note that all of the above jerseys are not game-worn jerseys but rather authentic replicas of the shirts seen on Messi and co. on the field.
In addition to making the team jerseys for Argentina, Adidas also designs Messi’s signature soccer cleat, dubbed the “F50 Messi Elite.” First released last year, the shoes above feature a Miami-inspired colorway that celebrates Messi’s current team, Inter Miami CF in Major League Soccer. This is a right-foot cleat that was personally autographed by Messi. If this is sold out, you can find a signed left-foot cleat here.
You can also find out more about Messi’s signature shoe and shop the latest styles and colorways on the Adidas website.
This Messi trading card is taken from the Panini Prizm deck released in conjunction with the 2018 World Cup in Russia (where Argentina lost to eventual champions France in the Round of 16). The card features an image of the star forward in his national team kit with his autograph in blue on the front. The card is housed in an acrylic case for protection and easy display.
Fanatics says the card has been officially authenticated and graded 9/10 by PSA (the Professional Sports Authenticator service).
Lionel Messi of course lifted the FIFA World Cup trophy for Argentina four years later in 2022, capturing the one major honor that had previously eluded him.
