The hotel room of Argentine star Lionel Messi in Qatar, where he stayed during the 2022 FIFA World Cup, will be transformed into a museum on Wednesday, the University of Qatar announced on Wednesday. Messi and Sergio Aguero shared a room at the end of Argentina’s victorious World Cup campaign. The hall will no longer receive visitors, GOAL.com quoted the Qatari news agency QNA. Instead, it has been reported that there are plans to turn the space into a small museum, preserving the Paris Saint-Germain star’s belongings in all their splendor for other students and tourists to see.
“The room of Argentina national team player Lionel Messi will remain unchanged and will only be available to visitors and not residents. Messi’s belongings will be a legacy for students and future generations and a witness to the great achievements Messi has achieved during the World Cup. ” said Hitmi al Hitmi, director of communications and public relations at the University of Qatar. GOAL.com quoted the Qatari newspaper Al Sharq as saying.
Argentina won their third World Cup and Messi’s first of his career after a stunning victory over France in the 2022 Championship match. His club manager, Christophe Galtier, acknowledged the joy of reaching such an important milestone, but he also announced that the 35 year-old will not appear for PSG until mid-January.
Messi received the Golden Ball in the 2022 World Cup final for being the best player of the tournament. He scored seven goals behind Kylian Mbappé’s total of eight goals. The French player was awarded the golden boot for being the tournament’s top scorer.
Messi is enjoying a well-deserved holiday after a successful World Cup run, but PSG will be without one of their star forwards due to a packed winter schedule.
