It should be remembered that in 2011, Lionel Messi – captain of the Argentine National Team – recorded videos promoting the vote in the contest organized by the New 7 Wonders Foundation, inviting his fans to vote for the Iguazu Falls as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature in the world.
In an interview with journalist Joaquín “Pollo” Álvarez, the world champion talked about his life in Miami, the news of the team before the World Cup and its future in soccer.
In that context, a phrase by Messi in particular did not go unnoticed by the missionaries: “I would like to know the Falls.”
The statement quickly went viral among fans of Misiones, taking into account that the Iguazú Falls – one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature in the world – represent one of the most important tourist destinations in the country and without a doubt, one of the greatest prides of the province.
It should be remembered that Messi’s love for the Falls was already manifested years ago, when in 2011, the captain of the Argentine National Team – recorded videos promoting the vote in the contest organized by the New 7 Wonders Foundation (where initially there were more than 450 candidate destinations), inviting his fans to vote for the Iguazu Falls, so that they become one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature in the world.
Lionel Messi also made clear his desire to tour different points of Argentina with Antonella and her children. His family had already visited the Falls in 2022, while the striker continued his career in Europe. During that stay, numerous tourists shared photographs with Antonella, generating great impact on social networks.
Now, after the recent statements of the world champion, the expectations and enthusiasm of the missionaries have grown again, who dream of soon receiving the captain of the Argentine National Team in the red land.
