Football Fever Grips the Nation as Lionel Messi Confirms India Tour.
NEW DELHI – In what is being hailed as the biggest football news of the year, Argentine superstar and World Cup champion Lionel Messi has officially confirmed his visit to India this December. The living legend is set to embark on a multi-city “GOAT Tour of India 2025” from December 13th to 15th, sending waves of excitement across the country, including right here in Bihar.
Messi, who last visited India in 2011, will be making appearances in Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, and New Delhi. He won’t be alone; joining him are his close friend and World Cup-winning teammate Rodrigo De Paul, and former Barcelona attacking partner, the legendary Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez.
“India is a very special country, and I have good memories from my time there 14 years ago,” Messi said in an official statement. “India is a passionate football nation, and I look forward to meeting a new generation of fans.”
The tour promises a spectacular series of events, including exhibition “GOAT Cup” matches, fan meet-and-greets, football masterclasses, and concerts. The tour will conclude in New Delhi, where the football icon is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Patna Fans Buzz with Excitement.
The news has ignited a firestorm of excitement among football fans in Patna and across Bihar. While Messi isn’t scheduled to visit the state, the proximity of Kolkata has many local fans already making travel plans.
“This is a dream come true! I’ve been a Messi fan my whole life,” said Ankit Kumar, a college student from Kankarbagh who plays for a local club. “Kolkata is just a train ride away. Me and my friends are saving up money to get tickets. We cannot miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to see the GOAT in person.”
Local sports shops are already anticipating a surge in demand for Messi jerseys and memorabilia as the tour dates draw closer. The visit is expected to provide a massive boost to the popularity of football in a region traditionally dominated by cricket.
