New Delhi: Lionel Messi is preparing for a highly anticipated visit to India this weekend as part of his multi city GOAT Tour 2025. The football legend will land in Kolkata early on Saturday and then travel to Hyderabad, Mumbai and New Delhi for a series of cultural, sporting and charity events.

Messi is expected to arrive in Kolkata at around 1.30 am on Saturday. He will stay at a hotel along the EM Bypass and take part in a sponsor meet and greet on Saturday morning. A seventy foot statue of Messi holding the World Cup trophy has been set up in Lake Town, but due to security restrictions the unveiling will be done virtually from his hotel rather than at the site. Kolkata is also planning a fusion food festival featuring a mix of Argentine and Bengali dishes to welcome the star.
