Messi's India Tour 2025 Sealed by Durga Puja Statue
Lionel Messi, one of the greatest football players, is coming to India for the first time since 2011.
A man named Satadru Dutta worked hard to bring Messi to India.
He first brought Messi's friends, like Emiliano Martinez and Ronaldinho, to India to tell Messi good things about the country.
Dutta also made a big statue of Messi during a festival called Durga Puja to honor Messi's World Cup win.
This statue and Dutta's hard work convinced Messi's father, Jorge Messi, and then Messi himself to come to India.
The tour will happen in December 2025 and will visit four big cities in India.
Other famous football players will also be part of the tour.
Lionel Messi will visit India for the first time since 2011 as part of the GOAT India Tour 2025.
The tour, organized by Satadru Dutta, will cover four cities: Kolkata, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Delhi from December 13-15, 2025.
Dutta convinced Messi by bringing his close friends, Emiliano Martinez and Ronaldinho, to India and showing them around.
A large statue of Messi erected during Durga Puja played a significant role in convincing Messi to visit India.
Rodrigo De Paul and Luis Suárez will also participate in the tour, with potential appearances by Indian celebrities.
