In a unique blend of sports and conservation, Argentine football legend Lionel Messi is set to spend a night at Vantara, a wildlife rescue and conservation centre in Jamnagar, as part of his GOAT Tour of India. The visit comes after a series of events in New Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Mumbai, where Messi met key figures from Indian cricket and politics. As part of the tour, Messi, along with his Inter Miami FC teammates Luis Suárez and Rodrigo De Paul, will visit Vantara after attending an event in New Delhi on Monday. This stop is part of a larger tour that has seen the football stars interact with Indian cricket team members, including ICC Chairman Jay Shah. During their Delhi visit, Messi received a warm welcome, with Shah presenting him and his teammates with Indian cricket team jerseys, symbolizing the unity of two of India's most popular sports. The jerseys were autographed by Shah, and each player was assigned a unique number: Messi (10), Suárez (9), and De Paul (7). Shah also gifted Messi a special autographed cricket bat and invited him to the upcoming T20 World Cup, presenting him with a ticket to the tournament. The football stars have been engaging with local fans throughout their tour, including a brief kickabout with youngsters at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. However, their visit to Kolkata was marred by chaos, with fans throwing bottles and attempting to break gates after Messi left the venue early. Despite the incident, Messi's GOAT India Tour 2025 continues to make headlines, with his visit to Vantara promising to be a memorable experience for all involved.
