FIFA regulations have blocked Argentina's plan to retire Lionel Messi's iconic No. 10 shirt, according to reports by GOAL.com on Thursday. The Argentine Football Association reportedly intended to permanently retire the number after Messi announced on August 31 that he would retire from international football following more than two decades with the national team. The governing body's rules prevent the permanent withdrawal of the shirt number from international competition.
