Soccer fans in India's eastern city of Kolkata are to be treated to top class international football. Argentina will play Venezuela in a friendly match on September 2nd. Indian firm Nivia Sports designed a new match ball for the occasion.

A dream come true for soccer fans in India – an international friendly between Argentina and Venezuela in the eastern city of Kolkata on September 2nd.

And to ramp up the excitement further – a grand event on Sunday unveiling the official match ball, developed by the Indian firm Nivia Sports.

The game's main attraction will be soccer icon Lionel Messi, current World Player of the Year and considered the best Argentine footballer since the legendary Diego Maradona.

Such superstar players require the finest soccer balls to complement their skills, so Nivia Sports have created the “Nivia Simbolo”, a uniquely designed football made from a special polyurethane material, and lovingly hand-stitched.

It is expected the ball will be a great hit with players from both sides.

Speaking at the promotional event on Sunday, executive director of Celebrity Management Group Bhaswar Goswami, expressed his growing excitement.

[Bhaswar Goswami, Celebrity Management Group Executive Director]:
"I am excited about the full team, both the teams. This is a very special occasion for Indian football that a proper international friendly is being played here. It is not only about Messi, it is about the whole match. We have Argentina, one of the most popular teams in India, they are playing here. So, I am naturally excited about the whole event.”

Two-time world champions Argentina are hugely popular in soccer-obsessed region, where their former captain and coach Diego Maradona is worshiped like a demigod.
