Lionel Messi will receive the title of honorary citizenship of the Italian municipality, San Severino Marche. The local government of the municipality of San Severino Marche will discuss the initiative at the next council meeting.
But why consider Messi for citizenship? In it, the Argentine footballer will be given citizenship because of his family origins on his mother’s side originated in that town.
The San Severino Marche networks published an official statement to announce the measure.

In addition, they specified that ‘it took more than three years to complete the reconstruction of the ties between Messi and the city of San Severino Marche through the Coccettini family’ and that ‘contacts have already begun to allow Mayor Rosa Piermattei to hand over the honorary certificate to Messi.’
It is worth recalling that Argentina and Italy already have a date, time, and venue to face for the intercontinental cup that they will compete for having been the last winners of the Copa America and Euro Cup, respectively.
The question for now is – will Messi receive his citizenship in that matchday?
