Official ruling angers Messi before World Cup
The Lionel Messi statue in Kolkata, India, has been dismantled after authorities expressed concerns about a balance fault caused by strong winds, which posed a public safety risk. It has been moved to a government storage facility, and officials are considering reinstalling it in a safer location with a redesigned base to withstand hurricanes ahead of the 2026 World Cup. The statue was inaugurated in December 2022 as part of the "GOAT Tour" and had previously faced criticism over its cost and organization.
