Lionel Messi is 5 feet 7 inches tall, which is about 1.70 meters.

Quick height breakdown

  • In feet: 5 ft 7 in
  • In meters: 1.70 m
  • In centimeters: 170 cm

Why this number keeps popping up

Most major sports‑data sites (Transfermarkt, Statmuse, All Football, Dimensions.com) and height‑focused blogs all list Messi at 5′7″ (1.70 m) , so that’s the widely accepted figure in 2026.

Even though there are some fun “height‑check” videos and forum debates questioning whether he’s really that tall, no credible source gives a meaningfully different official height.

If you want a simple answer for a forum post:

“Messi is 5 feet 7 inches tall (about 1.70 m).”
