If Argentina successfully defends its title at Copa America this summer, Lionel Messi’s villa in Miami could very well be the location chosen to hold a celebration for the entire team.
If the Argentina team successfully defends the Copa America championship this summer, Lionel Messi’s million-dollar villa in Miami will likely become the venue for a celebration for the entire team, when the final Copa America will be held at Hard Rock Stadium in South Florida – the same state as the villa where Messi’s family resides in the US.
In September 2023, Messi spent 10.75 million USD (equivalent to 8.45 million pounds) to own this luxury villa with the support of real estate company Team Simpkin. The move comes just a few months after La Pulga moved to play for David Beckham’s MLS club Inter Miami.
The $10.75 million mansion that the Argentine superstar owns in Fort Lauderdale is considered an ideal place to hold parties. With 10 bedrooms, a private VIP room and two boat docks, this spacious villa has enough space to host Messi’s teammates.
Located on a private island with a swimming pool overlooking the canal and panoramic views of Fort Lauderdale, this luxury villa offers the perfect privacy and tranquility for a celebratory party.
Commenting on playing in Miami with different climatic conditions, Messi shared: “The matches taking place in Miami are very different from other places because the climate here changes a lot, with high temperatures and high temperatures.” However, in the group stage, we only have one match in Miami, which is the third match. And if we are lucky enough to reach the final with God’s blessing, then we will shoot back to Miami for that final game”.
Since Messi came to America, besides his great contributions to Inter Miami, the Argentine superstar’s presence in Florida has also brought many benefits to local residents. Businessman Patrick David made $25 million from increasing real estate prices in the community right when Messi moved here.
“Up to now, with the current situation, my house has increased by 25 million USD compared to its old value. Messi just moved to live right next to my house. This makes everyone want to buy home and become a resident here,” Mr. David shared.
The Argentine team will take the field to play the opening match of the Copa America, when they face the Canadian team on June 21 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. After that, they will meet Chile at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on June 26, and finally the match against Peru at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida on June 30 to end the group stage.
Messi and Argentina are aiming to successfully defend the Copa America championship. If this is done, La Albiceleste will become the first team to successfully defend the Copa America championship since 1993, when Oscar Ruggeri and his teammates did the same thing.
At the same time, this achievement will also confirm Lionel Messi’s status as the greatest player in Argentine football history with World Cup and Copa America titles won during his career.
