EXPOSED! Kerala government spent Rs 13 lakh to invite Lionel Messi, now he's not coming
Argentina's Lionel Messi reacts during a qualifying soccer match against Colombia for the FIFA World Cup 2026 at the Monumental stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Tuesday, June 10, 2025. (AP Photo/Gustavo Garello) The Kerala government spent Rs 13 lakh on Sports Minister V. Abdurahiman's trip to Spain in September 2024 to invite football legend Lionel Messi , contradicting earlier claims that no public money would be used. The minister, accompanied by the Sports Department Secretary and Director of Sports and Youth Affairs, had previously stated it would not cost "even a single rupee" to invite Messi. Minister Abdurahiman recently confirmed that the Argentine national team, led by Messi, would not be visiting Kerala . The team cited travel difficulties during October, the only month the sponsor was willing to host the event. The minister had earlier announced that the team would likely visit in October or November . He stated they would be treated as state guests, with the government covering security, accommodation, and logistics. Argentina's national team enjoys massive support in Kerala's Malappuram and Kozhikode districts. This support intensified after Messi led Argentina to victory in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Abdurahiman, who hails from Malappuram, had been actively working to bring Messi to Kerala . Sources suggest political motivations behind these efforts , with local body elections scheduled for December and assembly elections for 140 members of the Kerala Legislative Assembly due in April-May next year. The revelation of the minister's Spain trip expenses has drawn criticism from opposition parties. Both the Congress-led UDF and BJP-led NDA have accused the Pinarayi Vijayan government of engaging in publicity stunts and misleading the public.

Trump to sign order creating task force for 2028 Los Angeles Olympics
Trump has been an enthusiastic booster for major international sporting events scheduled to occur in the US under his watch, boasting about both the Olympics and the 2026 FIFA World Cup Bloomberg President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order on Tuesday establishing a task force for the 2028 Summer Olympics and Paralympics, which will be held in Los Angeles during his term. 'During his first term, President Trump was instrumental in securing America's bid to host the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles,' said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, adding that the president would work to make the event 'the most exciting and memorable in history.' 'The President considers it a great honor to oversee this global sporting spectacle in his second term,' according to her statement Monday. The executive order creating the task force was first reported by Reuters. Trump has been an enthusiastic booster for major international sporting events scheduled to occur in the US under his watch, boasting about both the Olympics and the 2026 FIFA World Cup. 'I got the World Cup and I have the Olympics and I did it,' Trump said at an event in Iowa in July. Trump tapped a similar task force earlier this year for the World Cup that will be hosted in the US, Canada and Mexico next year, appointing Andrew Giuliani, the son of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani — one of the president's staunchest allies — to be its director. That task force was established to coordinate departments and agencies across the federal government to assist in organizing and carrying out the World Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup, a separate tournament that was held earlier this year. Both the Olympics and the World Cup are expected to draw large numbers of spectators — as well as many international tourists — bringing logistical and security challenges. Some Trump administration critics have expressed concerns that his effort to crack down on undocumented immigration and restrict travel from some countries could complicate efforts to host those sporting events. Trump has promised he will facilitate travel and visa access for World Cup teams and supporters. The president has regularly attended premier sporting events since his return to office, including the Super Bowl, Daytona 500, a UFC fight, the NCAA men's wrestling championships and the FIFA Club World Cup final, which took place in New Jersey. And he often weighs in sports-world controversies. Trump blasted the Opening Ceremony for the 2024 Olympics in Paris as 'a disgrace' over a performance that some viewers believed to be a depiction of Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Last Supper,' even though organizers denied there was a religious reference.
