Will Messi Come Again?”—Minister V. Abdurahiman Speaks

Minister Rekindles Messi Speculations

In a recent interview with Mathrubhumi News, Kerala’s Sports Minister V. Abdurahiman addressed the lingering curiosity surrounding Lionel Messi’s potential visit to the state. When asked, “Will Messi come again?” the Minister responded optimistically, saying:

> “There’s still a chance that he may come.”



This statement, while non-committal, reignites public anticipation for another possible high-profile engagement.

What Actually Happened?

Kerala’s earlier efforts to bring Messi in 2024 proved controversial:

Sports Minister V. Abdurahiman and city officials traveled to Spain—an initiative reportedly costing ₹13 lakh—to invite Messi for an event. They had assured that no public funds would be used.

Despite the outreach, Messi declined, citing unable to accommodate the visit. The outcome triggered sharp political criticism. The opposition demanded accountability for the expenditure, alleging the government misused public sentiment and taxpayer money.

Why the Controversy Matters

1. Public Trust at Stake
The Kerala government’s claim of “not spending a rupee” was directly contradicted by the ₹13 lakh expenditure—breeding skepticism around transparency and fiscal responsibility.


2. Political Fallout
Criticism intensified from the Congress party, with leaders questioning:

> “Why use public money for personal glory?”
The episode became a focal point in regional political debates, especially amid approaching elections.




3. Messi’s Visit: Beyond Football
Messi’s potential appearance held symbolic weight—his global star status and India’s growing football culture made the visit a powerful morale booster and PR opportunity. Still, without clarity, the speculation remains unfulfilled.

What Minister Abdurahiman’s Comments Suggest

The Minister’s remark—“there’s still a chance he may come”—reflects a desire to preserve public interest and hope, especially among Kerala’s massive Messi fanbase in cities like Malappuram and Kozhikode.

Messenger supporters had high expectations since the 2022 World Cup, making the ongoing dialogue emotionally resonant, regardless of feasibility.
