What was expected to be a historic celebration for Indian football fans turned into frustration and chaos after Lionel Messi’s appearance in Kolkata lasted barely 22 minutes at the Salt Lake Stadium on Saturday. The abrupt exit sparked crowd unrest and widespread criticism of the event’s organisation.

In the aftermath, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) issued a clarification distancing itself from the GOAT Tour fiasco. The federation stated that the event was privately organised by a PR agency and that AIFF had no role in the planning, execution or management of Messi’s visit. AIFF also expressed concern over the scenes witnessed at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan.

With questions being raised about accountability, crowd management and India’s readiness to host global sporting events, the Messi tour controversy continues to dominate headlines. In this video, we break down AIFF’s statement, what went wrong in Kolkata, and the wider implications for Indian football administration
