As one of the greatest footballers of all-time, there's very little Leo Messi doesn't have - and the Argentine superstar is about to be given his very own theme park.
The Barcelona forward is revered the world over for his breath-taking runs and astonishing goals, and if you're one of Leo's most loyal fans, you'll now have the opportunity to visit the first-ever Messi-themed park in China's Nanjing from 2019.

According to The Mirror, the Messi Experience Park will open in early 2019 and will consist of 20 different attractions over 80,000 square feet.
The outlet also note that "virtual and augmented reality technology" will be deployed to keep the football theme strong, and those who attend will be able to access a bit of football training.
The new venture was announced as part of a four-day promotional trip to China, with Messi saying the following:
"I hope to provide them the experience they never had before and to inspire them to pick up the sport early on.

"Hopefully, they will feel that I am around when visiting the park."

We have absolutely no idea what specifically the rides will be based on, but if they're anything like Leo's lung bursting runs and electrifying dribbles, then it'll definitely be worth the admission fee.
Forget Alton Towers, forget Disneyland - this is the only theme park worth visiting over the next few years, if you ask us.
What do you think of the venture? What other footballers should have their own theme parks?
