Now, team is set to play friendly matches in China, Angola and Qatar in Oct-Nov | Minister Abdurahiman declines to comment, says sponsors to provide updates

- MANISHA VCS @Kochi

THE much-anticipated visit of the Argentina football team, including star player Lionel Messi, to Kerala appears uncertain over failure to mobilise funds for the team's appearance fee.

Reports now suggest that the Latin American football giant will instead play friendly matches in China, Angola, and Qatar in October and November this year, casting doubts on Kerala's earlier announcement.

The proposal, first revealed last November by state Minister for Sports V Abdurahiman, aimed to bring the reigning world champions to play two international friendlies in the state, one of which was to be held in Kochi. However, it appears that delays in arranging finances have affected the project.
