In an exciting announcement, Argentine football legend Lionel Messi has revealed that he will be adding Hyderabad to his highly anticipated 'GOAT Tour to India 2025' next month. This will mark his fourth stop in the country, with the first being Kolkata. After Hyderabad, he will make his way to Mumbai and New Delhi, where he is expected to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Expressing his gratitude for the love and support from Indian fans, Messi took to social media to share the news. "Thanks for all the love from India! The GOAT tour kicks off in a few weeks' time!!! I'm happy to share that Hyderabad has been added to my visits to Kolkata, Mumbai, and Delhi. See you soon India!" he wrote.
The decision to include Hyderabad in the tour came after the cancellation of Argentina's proposed friendly match in Kochi. The revised plan ensures that Messi's 'GOAT Tour' will cover all four corners of India - east, south, west, and north. Satadru Dutta, the sole organizer of the tour, had previously mentioned that the event in Hyderabad will most likely be held at either Gachibowli or Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. It will consist of a celebrity match, football clinic, felicitation ceremony, and a musical program.
The 'GOAT Tour to India 2025' is the brainchild of Dutta, and it promises to be a grand affair. It will feature a mix of celebrity football matches, musical events, meet-and-greet sessions, masterclasses for children, and felicitation ceremonies across four cities. Messi's tour will kick off in Kolkata on December 13, followed by Hyderabad on the same evening. He will then travel to Mumbai on December 14 and conclude his tour in New Delhi on December 15.
It is indeed a thrilling moment for football fans in India, as they will get the chance to witness one of the greatest players of all time in action. The 'GOAT Tour to India 2025' is definitely a must-attend event for all football enthusiasts. So mark your calendars and get ready to welcome Messi to India with open arms. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you do not want to miss!
