Saudi: Lionel Messi & His Family Visit Riyadh

World Cup-winning football megastar Lionel Messi is in Saudi Arabia.

The Argentinian shared an image of the “unexpected wonders” of the Kingdom with his more than 450m Instagram followers on Sunday, before jetting in to see the country for himself.

The PSG star has had previous experience with Saudi Arabia as a tourism ambassador, having travelled to the country for promotional activities on several occasions.

A post on the World Cup winner’s official Instagram account said: “Who thought Saudi has so much green? I love to explore its unexpected wonders whenever I can.”

On Monday Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Tourism, Ahmed Al Khateeb welcomed the iconic player to the Kingdom.

In a message on social media he said: “I am happy to welcome Saudi Tourism Ambassador Lionel #Messi and his family on his second vacation in Saudi.

“We are happy to share our authentic Saudi welcome with you all”.

While the current visit is part of a promotional contract to highlight tourism in the country, there have been long-time rumours that football clubs in the country will attempt to sign the former Barcelona star when his contract with PSG runs out in the summer.
