Argentina’s legendary football star Lionel Messi is considered to be one of the most popular footballers in India. While fans across the world are totally shattered after Argentina exited from FIFA world cup 2018 at the round of 16 yet their respect for La Pulga remains the same.

Well, this can be proved from the fact that Messi’s die-hard fans in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh are now celebrating the legend in their own way.
The Lucknow Super Sports Society had launched a “soccer bank” which is first in India and named it after Messidona.

Well, the bank has already distributed over 20,000 footballs in such a short period of time. Impressive isn’t it?

Praising Leo, Prabhjot Singh Nanda, the president of Super Sports Society(SSS) said, “Messi is like pure gold, one of the three all-time greats along with Pele and Maradona. He has been an inspiration for the present generation of footballers for over a decade. There is no one like him.”

“That’s why we have named our football bank after him. A football being given his name will keep inspiring the recipient for the rest of his life,” he said as reported by Times of India.

Well, SSS is doing a very good job of helping the kids get in the tournament by conducting daily physical training and organizing practice sessions for those who want to be involved.

Apart from hosting the national tourney, SSS organizes different state-and district-level tournaments to give opportunities to provide opportunities to budding soccer players.

SSS chief executive Dhirendra Singh Chauhan, said, ” Our soccer bank was conceptualised a few months back for promoting the game beyond our trainees.”

“Now, any individual or group with a list of 11 players (boys or girls) can approach us and we provide them a football and also a training at our ground.”
