Miami-based event promoter Vid Music Group has filed a lawsuit against football star Lionel Messi and the Argentine Football Association, alleging that Messi breached a $7 million contract by sitting out an exhibition match last year. The suit, lodged in Miami-Dade circuit court (the main trial court serving the greater Miami area), accuses both parties of fraud and breach of contract. The case adds legal pressure to Messi's high-profile presence in the United States, where he plays for Inter Miami in Major League Soccer.
