Qatar University converts Messi’s room to museum
Qatar University (QU) has converted the room where Lionel Messi lived during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 into a small museum.
The university campus was the base camp of the La Albiceleste during their 29 days of the tournament.
In a video released by QU, it shows the campus decked up in blue and white, and its halls filled with posters of the World Cup champions, their autographs and jerseys.
“Messi’s bedroom will remain unchanged and will remain available only for visits and not to stay in, since it will now become a small museum that will contain his belongings and serve as a legacy for students and future generations as well as a testament to the great things Messi achieved during the World Cup” said Hitmi al Hitmi, the communications director of the University.
Liverpool stayed at the Qatar University in 2019 for their Club World Cup, prompting Argentina and Spain to do the same.
