Abstract: The objective of this research is to analyze the relationship between age and performance of soccer players. To do so, a threshold econometric model was applied to time series data of Ronaldo and Messi over the period 2003 to 2022. We found through our estimations that there would be a heterogeneous threshold age at which player performance decreases. This threshold is about 29 years for Ronaldo and 27 years for Messi. In the increasing phase, an increase in age leads to an increase in the performance of the player but in the other phase beyond the threshold, an increase in age leads to a reduction in performance
