"Vid Music Group signed a deal with the Argentine Football Association for exclusive rights to organize and promote Argentina's friendlies, expecting Messi to play at least 30 minutes in each match unless injured."
"Messi watched Argentina's 1-0 win against Venezuela from a suite, while he played in a subsequent MLS match and scored two goals, raising questions about his absence in the exhibition."
"The lawsuit claims Vid lost millions due to Messi's failure to appear in one game and the low ticket sales at the other, which were affected by external factors."
Vid Music Group has filed a lawsuit against Lionel Messi and the Argentine Football Association for fraud and breach of contract. The lawsuit claims Messi violated a $7 million contract by not playing in an exhibition match last year. Vid had exclusive rights to promote Argentina's friendlies and alleges Messi was to play at least 30 minutes in each match. Messi attended one match but did not play, leading to claims of significant financial losses due to low ticket sales and missed appearances.
