Rosario says goodbye to Messi with a giant screen and free activities

What is happening in Rosario this Tuesday

Rosario will hold a free public gathering on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, to follow Lionel Messi’s farewell before the Argentine public: the Santa Fe government confirmed activities from 5 p.m. at Parque Héroes de Malvinas and a giant-screen showing of Argentina-Benin from 8 p.m. at the Santa Fe Sports Museum, on Ayacucho 4800.

The event is organized by the provincial government, with an invitation from the Rosario municipality. The museum will open from 4 p.m. until the end of the match. For planning the afternoon, the central details are free admission, the start of activities in the park and the evening broadcast on the museum screen.

A farewell seen from the neighborhood

The local angle is not only the match at the Monumental stadium. Santa Fe placed the gathering in a Rosario site with clear meaning in Messi’s story: the Santa Fe Sports Museum, which has a Messi Space and is located in the area linked to his early years in the city.

For Rosario, the screen turns a national sporting event into a city gathering. Instead of traveling to Buenos Aires or watching from home, residents and visitors have a public option to follow the match near a museum devoted to Santa Fe province’s sporting history.

Times and details for attending

The museum will open at 4 p.m. Activities at Parque Héroes de Malvinas will begin at 5 p.m. The Argentina-Benin broadcast is scheduled for 8 p.m. on the giant screen at the Santa Fe Sports Museum.

AFA confirmed that Argentina will face Benin from 8 p.m. at the Monumental and frames the night as Messi’s farewell before the Argentine public. That sporting setting should be kept separate from the Rosario plan: in Rosario, this is a free public screening, not the match itself.
