Messi, a scandal denounced

Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami will play a friendly match against the selection of El Salvador, in the capital of the small Central American country, and ticket prices are exorbitant.

On vacation for two weeks and a victory for Argentina against Brazil (0-1) in qualifying for the 2026 World Cup in the Amsud zone, Lionel Messi will resume at the start of 2024 with Inter Miami. David Beckham’s MLS club has officially scheduled a preparation match against the selection of El Salvador on January 19 in San Salvador.

The arrival of the eight-time Ballon d’Or has a certain price. Tickets for the match start at $200 and go up to $475. The Estadio Cuscatlan (44,836 seats) is bound to be packed, but the prices scandalize many people. El Salvador is the third poorest country on the subcontinent (behind Nicaragua and Honduras) and the average salary there is $420…

The Miamians must then play a gala match against Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Saudi team, at the beginning of February, in Riyadh, just before the start of the North American championship.
