Hong Kong authorities demanded to know why Messi was absent from the field in an exhibition match
Hong Kong authorities have contacted the organizers of a friendly match between the Inter Miami football club and the Hong Kong XI national team, in which Lionel Messi did not take part. The government demanded an explanation for his absence.
“The government, like football fans, is extremely disappointed by this decision,” the statement said.
The Major Events Committee is said to be able to reduce the amount of funding given to the organizers due to Messi’s absence from the field, as this is stipulated in the terms of the contract.
Messi was recognized as the best player of 2023 according to FIFA. He missed the match due to a hamstring strain.
