UAE businessman gifts Argentina football house to passionate Lionel Messi fan in Kerala
Afi Ahmed, a UAE businessman, has built an Argentina-themed house for Lionel Messi fan Subair Vazhakkad in Kerala, India.
Subair went viral for his engaging Malayalam commentary during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Despite having no professional qualification, the small-time farmer captivated listeners with his in-depth analysis of players, team and games.
When Afi learned about Subairs passion for football and his love for Messi and Argentina, the business tycoon offered to fly Subair to Qatar to watch his favourites live.
Subair, though, had to turn the opportunity down, as he had to take care of his ailing family members.
His sacrifice and dutifulness impressed Afi, who went on to build a one-of-a-kind Argentina-themed house for him in the Vazhakkad village of Kerala’s Malappuram district.
Its to be noted that this is not the first time Afi has shown kindness to a Messi fan
He had previously flown young Messi fan Muhammad Nibras to Qatar after seeing him in a state of despair following Argentina’s 2-1 defeat to Saudi Arabia in their World Cup opener.
