In one of them, in the city of Kolkata, India, Argentina and Venezuela will meet. It is expected that up to 120 thousand spectators will gather at the "Bharati Krirangan" stadium. Their goal is to see the best football player on the planet, Lionel Messi.
One of the organizers of the match, Bhaswaras Goswami, said: "Pele came here at the end of his career, Diego Maradona also visited, but did not play. Messi will play at the peak of his career. These matches will inspire entire generations of Indian youth, as well as their parents."
