Replying to the discussion on the demand for grants for 2025-26 fiscal, Abdurahiman said approvals from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Union Sports Ministry have been obtained.

"Further formalities are in progress and more updates will be provided once all necessary procedures are completed," the minister said.

It was in November last year that Abdurahiman announced that Messi and the Argentina team would visit Kerala to play two friendly matches in 2025.

Abdurahiman also told the assembly that an international football stadium is being planned at the Malappuram-Kozhikode border.
