The boy from Rosario, Lionel Messi, is set to visit India. For those who have wished to see Messi play live, this dream is about to come true. The eight-time Ballon d'Or champion will be in India from December 13 to 15. He will travel to four cities: Kolkata, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, and Delhi. The tour will feature concerts, exhibition games, masterclasses, and celebrity meet-and-greet events.
Calling India a "very special country,” Messi posted the good news on Instagram. He recalled his earlier visit in 2011, where he played a friendly match in Kolkata. Unlike his previous visit, this tour does not include competitive matches. Instead, it is intended to provide supporters with an all-around football and entertainment experience.
The G.O.A.T. India Tour will combine sport, culture, and celebrity beauty. Fans will be able to learn from Messi himself at masterclasses, watch him play in exhibition games, and attend concerts featuring notable musicians.
