After one of the most decorated international careers of all-time, 39-year-old Lionel Messi will bid an emotional farewell to Argentina fans as he plays one final match against Benin on Tuesday evening in Buenos Aires.

Having lifted every major trophy there is to hoist in international football — including the FIFA World Cup, two Copa Americas, and the newly-minted Finalissima, Messi will pass on the torch to the next generation. He leaves a true national hero and icon, as one of the most universally beloved figures in the history of the sport.

His final match comes against 96th-ranked Benin, a country that has never qualified for a World Cup tournament and whose highest FIFA ranking was 59 way back in 2010.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
