Lionel Messi India Tour In Kolkata

Fans carry a cutout outside a temporary museum ahead of Lionel Messi's India tour in Kolkata, India, on December 11, 2025. To make the GOAT feel 'at home', Kolkata's Argentina football fan club recreates Messi's Miami residence in Salt Lake, Kolkata. The recreated house includes a terrace with statues, terracotta roofs, and life-sized cutouts of Messi's family. A museum-style gallery displays Messi's career through replicas of his trophies, including the World Cup. The ceiling holds 896 footballs for each Messi goal, while a 200-meter LED wall shows his highlights. Organizers charge a INR10 entry fee to manage crowds and track visitors.
