Tensions flared in Kerala on Monday when Sports Minister V. Abdurahiman lost his temper while being questioned by reporters about Lionel Messi’s postponed visit to the state.
The controversy stems from the now-postponed friendly match that was initially announced for November 17 in Kochi, where Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, was set to play. The match, jointly promoted by the Kerala Sports Department and sponsors, was eagerly anticipated by fans. However, the event’s sponsor, Anto Augustine, later confirmed that the game had been postponed due to delays in FIFA’s approval, stating it would be rescheduled during FIFA’s next international window.
