Argentina now trains at the renamed ‘Lionel Andrés Messi’ facility in Buenos Aires
The Argentina national team's training facility has been renamed after talismanic captain Lionel Messi in recognition of his World Cup heroics and star-studded career, the country's football association (AFA) said on Saturday.
The Casa de Ezeiza in Buenos Aires, which houses the national team set-up, will now be known as Lionel Andrés Messi "in tribute to the best player in the world," AFA president Claudio Tapia wrote on Twitter.
"Welcome to the world champion's house," Tapia said at the unveiling ceremony attended by current and former Argentina players.
