Lionel Messi has received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the United States. President Joe Biden awarded this prestigious medal during a ceremony at the White House on January 4, 2025.

Other notable recipients included Hillary Clinton, Bono, and Denzel Washington. The White House stated that these individuals are leaders who have made America and the world a better place.

Messi has been active in supporting healthcare and education programs for children through his foundation and serves as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.

This award marks a significant achievement for Messi, who has played in the United States since joining Inter Miami in 2023.
