Hong Kong authorities demanded an explanation for the absence of football player Messi from the match
Hong Kong authorities have demanded that the organizers of a friendly match between the Inter Miami football club and the Hong Kong XI national team explain the absence of Argentine striker Lionel Messi from the field. Reuters reports this.
Representatives of Hong Kong said that the government, as well as the fans, were disappointed with the decision of the organizers. It is noted that the committee for major sporting events can take action against the organizer in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract, which include reducing the amount of funding for teams.
On January 7, Patrick Bet-David, a neighbor of Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi in Fort Lauderdale (Florida, USA), told how the footballer’s arrival affected the price of his property. According to the man, the value of his house increased by 25 million dollars and is now 45 million.
36-year-old Messi joined the Inter Miami squad on July 15. His contract with the club runs until the end of the 2024/2025 season. As part of the team, he won the League Cup.
