The Obelisco in downtown Buenos Aires is the planned venue for a mass demonstration invfavour of the captain staying on, after he retired following Copa America defeat
Fans of Lionel Messi in Argentina have called
for a massive march in the centre of Buenos
Aires to persuade their hero to carry on in the
national team.
Over 100,000 people have so far expressed
interest in the rally, which has been publicised
on Facebook and has as a venue the Obelisco
monument.
The Obelisco is traditionally where fans gather
to celebrate titles for either local clubs or the
national team, but those going on Saturday
plan to protest against their captain's
international retirement.
"This Saturday June 2 at 6pm (10pm BST) we
are all going to the Obelisco to show him our
affection and our hopes he will continue
wearing the Argentina shirt," the event page
states.
"Come on Messi, don't give up on us!!!"
