Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be on the training field with Inter Miami star Lionel Messi? Have you been dying to get a selfie with the Argentine icon since he arrived in South Florida last summer?
Now is your chance. Well, sort of.
The Messi Experience, a 20,000 square-foot, multi-media immersive traveling exhibit kicks off its world tour in Miami Thursday at The Hangar at Regatta Harbor in Coconut Grove. It is scheduled to run in Miami through the end of June, which happens to coincide with the June 29 Copa America match between Argentina vs. Peru at Hard Rock Stadium.
The plan is for the exhibit to then travel to 80 cities around the world over the next five years, including stops in other Major League Soccer cities, and throughout South America, Europe and Asia.
Visitors will get to step into Messi’s soccer boots and embark on a nine-room, family friendly interactive journey that begins with his childhood in Rosario, Argentina, heads to Spain for his storied career with FC Barcelona, then to Qatar, where he led Argentina to the 2022 World Cup title, and finally to South Florida for his latest stop with Inter Miami. #lionelmessi #soccer #miami #intermiami #argentina #fcbarcelona #worldcup #messi
