All is well, says sports min amid sponsor chaos
OFF-AGAIN, on-again! The proposed visit of the Lionel Messi-led Argentina football team to Kerala is turning into a messy affair.
Despite the state government's announcement last year -- and later silence -- that the world champions would play multiple friendlies in Kerala, the plan is now shrouded in uncertainty. And, the government, organisers and sponsors are now contradicting each other.

TNIE had reported that the inability to mobilise funds for appearance fee -- amounting to ₹70 crore -- has cast doubts on the team's Kerala leg of friendlies.
