Argentina football team deceived Kerala by not coming to play: Minister Abdurahiman

MALAPPURAM(KERALA): (Apr 2) Kerala Sports Minister V Abdurahiman on Thursday said that the Argentina football team allegedly deceived the state by not coming to play a match even after receiving money for it.

Abdurahiman said that he had really wanted the Argentina football team and Lionel Messi to come to Kerala and play a match in the state.

“For that, I had held several discussions. It was also not an easy task to find sponsors to arrange the Rs 250 crore to be paid to the international football team.
