Lionel Messi arrives in Kolkata tonight at 1:30 AM, marking his grand return to the city after 13 years. Due to high security concerns, the public event at Sreebhumi was cancelled — and now Messi will virtually inaugurate his 70 ft tall statue from his hotel at 10 AM.

The football legend will attend an exclusive meet-and-greet with sponsors, featuring a unique Argentine–Indian fusion menu including Assam-style mate, Hilsa, and Bengali sweets.

This is part of his 2025 visit and a historic moment for Kolkata, made possible with the efforts of Minister Sujit Bose.

Stay tuned for all updates!
