 Lionel Messi's Hotel Room in Qatar Will Be Turned Into a Museum

On December 18th, Argentina won against France in one of the FIFA World Cup’s most thrilling games, but with Lionel Messi at the helm, Argentina was able to break a 3-3 stalemate by winning 4-2 in penalties. The win awarded Argentina its fifth World Cup and Messi his life-long dream as one of the most accomplished football athletes in the world.


In honour of this historic victory, Qatar University - where Messi was staying during the World Cup tournament - is converting Messi’s hotel room into a museum! The captain’s belongings  will be kept there for perpetuity in order to inspire future generations of footballers. Imagine being able to press your cheek against Messi’s own hotel room door - WITHOUT a restraining order? Details on how you can visit this mini-museum have yet to be released, but we’re sure you’ll be able to score a visit to this soon-to-be-legendary site sometime soon.
