‘Messi Experience’: immersive exhibition on Inter Miami star set to open doors

Soccer fans in Miami can now get their tickets for ‘The Messi Experience’, a new exhibition on Lionel Messi’s life and illustrious career.

Tickets are now on sale for a new exhibition on eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi, which is due to open in Miami next month.

Created with the soccer star’s involvement, ‘The Messi Experience’ is being billed as a state-of-the-art display that will offer visitors an immersive look back over the 36-year-old’s life and career - from his beginnings in Rosario, to his glittering spell at Barcelona, to Argentina’s victory at the 2022 World Cup and his subsequent move to MLS franchise Inter Miami.

Located at the Hangar at Regatta Harbour, an events venue in Miami’s Coconut Grove district, ‘The Messi Experience’ will feature nine interactive installations, spread across a space measuring 2,300 square metres. According to the exhibition’s organisers, Primo Entertainment and Moment Factory, these installations will include “digital and physical games where you can learn the tricks and skills of soccer’s GOAT”.

“I am very happy to be part of his project that allows fans to get closer to my journey on and off the field,” Messi said. “Throughout my career, I have always strived to inspire and connect people through my passion for football. This experience will offer a unique opportunity to relive the most memorable moments and feel the emotions that have shaped my path.”

While ‘The Messi Experience’ is initially being held in Miami, the $50m exhibition is set to travel around the planet, with some 150 cities expected to host the display. “This isn’t just an event, it’s a world tour that will allow fans of Messi from around the globe to immerse themselves in the extraordinary life and career
