The organizer of the Argentina team India Tour: They collect money first and then default, and this year will be next year

Recently, the head of a company in Kerala in India accused the Argentine Football Association of violating an agreement worth about US$15 million, which included the main content of the agreement, inviting the Argentine national team to visit Kerala during the international match windows in October and November 2025 and play two friendly matches.

General manager of the organizer of the matter, Anto Augustin, told the media that as part of the agreement, the Kerala government paid 1.3 billion rupees (about 15 million US dollars) to the Argentine Football Association in June. "They have confirmed that the payment has been received and thanked us for our patience," he said. Augustine also claimed that Argentina no longer plans to visit this year and they hope to reschedule the time.

Augustine said: "Now they say again, how is September 2026? This is unacceptable for us. Next World Cup will start in June, and we are not sure whether Argentina will be the world champion in September. The agreement was originally intended to allow the 2022 world champion to visit Kerala this year."

Kerala Sports Minister Abdullahhiman said that the Argentine Football Association also proposed to be in Ming Dynasty Abdullahimman also expressed dissatisfaction with this, saying: "Since they agree to come in October, they should abide by this schedule. Next year is the election year and it is unacceptable for their proposal to visit in March to compete."

Although the Argentina team does not seem to visit Kerala as originally planned, Messi will visit India in December, and he will travel to four cities, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Mumbai and New Delhi.
