Messi to receive honorary doctorate from Argentine university


The University of Buenos Aires has announced that it will award Argentina captain Lionel Messi an honorary doctorate for his professional career and contribution to the country.


According to a statement posted on its website on Wednesday, the university’s Higher Council unanimously approved the decision, with the honorary degree scheduled to be presented to Messi on Tuesday, October 6, before Argentina’s farewell match against Benin at the Monumental Stadium.


The university said the honour was its highest honorary degree and recognised Messi’s career, describing him as an example of “excellence, perseverance, humility and ethical practice” as well as a figure committed to representing Argentina.


According to the university, Messi will be recognised for leading the Argentine national team to major international titles, including the 2021 Copa América, 2022 Finalissima, 2022 FIFA World Cup and 2024 Copa América.


The university also noted Argentina’s runner-up finish at the 2026 World Cup.

The Rector of the University of Buenos Aires, Ricardo Gelpi, said the institution wanted to recognise Messi beyond his statistics and achievements on the football pitch.


“Beyond what all Argentinians know about Messi, regardless of the numbers and statistics that attest to his status as an athlete, we also want to recognise a humble, persevering person, an example and ambassador of our popular culture and national identity,” Gelpi said.


He added that the distinction was intended to highlight Messi’s influence through both sport and his wider representation of Argentina.
