Back to EpisodesMessi Sued for Skipping Exhibition Match
Description
Lionel Messi faces a seven million dollar lawsuit from a Miami event promoter, Vid Music Group, for allegedly breaching a contract by skipping an exhibition match last year. The deal gave Vid exclusive rights to organize Argentinas friendlies against Venezuela and Puerto Rico, with Messi required to play at least thirty minutes in each game unless injured. However, Messi sat out the first match and played only a portion of the second, leading to Vid claiming millions in losses and filing a lawsuit for fraud and breach. Messi and the Argentine Football Association have yet to comment on the matter.
