The revised schedule of Messi’s “Goat Tour” will now take place in all the four corners of India – Kolkata (east), Hyderabad (south), Mumbai (west) and Delhi (north). This event would be one of the biggest events held in India.
Lionel Messi’s much awaited “Goat Tour” has brought upon a major change with a newly added venue Hyderabad officially added as the new southern leg of the tour following the cancellation of the friendly proposed match by Argentina in Kerala.
“Now we are covering the south also. This will be a tribute to millions of football fans in South India” said Satadru Dutta, the sole organiser of the ‘GOAT Tour to India 2025’ to PTI on Saturday (November 1, 2025).
The Kochi friendly match which was initially planned on November 17 got cancelled after the delays following on the necessary clearances. In compensation, Hyderabad was chosen as a new venue for the tour.
