Mumbai: Just two days to go before football legend Lionel Messi arrives in India to kick off his GOAT Tour 2025, a three-day extravaganza across four major cities: Kolkata, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and New Delhi, from December 13 to 15.
And guess what? The tour promises a double delight -- not just for football fans, but also for Bollywood enthusiasts, as superstar Shah Rukh Khan is set to meet Messi on December 13 in Kolkata.

In Hyderabad, Messi's itinerary includes a highly anticipated 7v7 exhibition football match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is expected to join him for the event.
The evening will culminate in a musical extravaganza celebrating Messi's illustrious career.
Parvathi Reddy, Chief Patron and advisor of The Goat Tour Hyderabad, said that the Hyderabad leg of Lionel Messi's 'Goat India Tour 2025' will primarily feature a special football clinic for young players.
Speaking about the initiative, she said, "It is mainly focused on the football clinic that Messi is going to have."She further revealed that Messi will not be alone during the programme.

Following his engagements in Hyderabad, Messi will travel to Mumbai and then to Delhi.
