Messi's Argentina to Visit Kerala in November, Minister Confirms

The Sports Minister of Kerala said that Lionel Messi and the Argentina soccer team will visit the state in November.

Even though there was some doubt because of a problem with the first sponsor, the government has been told the visit is still on.

The minister is working with the Argentina Football Association (AFA) to make it happen, including getting a new sponsor.

Some people in the government were criticized over the deal, but the minister is still hopeful.

Messi may also visit other Indian cities, but those trips aren't directly organized with the AFA.

The government is preparing security for the team's arrival.
