From Kolkata, Messi will fly to Hyderabad, Mumbai and Delhi, where he is expected to meet political leaders, corporate figures and celebrities, and finally Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday. In Hyderabad, he will feature in a short friendly penalty shootout against a team led by Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy.The programme includes a 15–20 minute exhibition match between Singareni RR9 and Aparna–Messi All Stars, followed by penalty shootouts. Messi will also take individual penalty kicks as part of the showcase, organisers said.Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi is scheduled to attend the event, Telangana Congress sources said. He is expected to arrive in Hyderabad in the evening and proceed to the stadium after meeting Messi at his hotel. A short exhibition match and football clinic are planned in Hyderabad.While Mumbai will host a philanthropic fashion event and sports activities. The tour will conclude in Delhi with a felicitation ceremony and a celebrity match.Meanwhile, West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose has sought a detailed report from the state government on the arrangements for Messi’s Kolkata programme, following complaints from football enthusiasts over “hefty” ticket prices. According to Raj Bhavan sources, the governor questioned why common fans were unable to see the star and sought clarification on the role of private organisers in monetising the event.Kolkata, long known for its deep-rooted football culture, has hosted global legends from Pelé and Maradona to Oliver Kahn and Diego Forlán. Yet, for many in the city, Messi’s arrival has rekindled memories of its most passionate footballing moments — even if, for some, the glimpse of the legend remained elusive.
