It turned out that Lionel Messi, one of the legendary names of today’s football, ordered 35 golden iPhone smartphones for the Argentina national team footballers and other members of the team, who won the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar.
The players’ names, numbers and the Argentina national team logo are engraved on the 24-carat gold-plated smartphones, which cost £175,000. According to the information, Messi wanted to do something special and flashy in honor of his historic victory.
Gold iPhone instead of a watch
The famous football player got in touch with the entrepreneur Ben Lyons and they did the design together. The report included the following words of iDesign Gold CEO Ben:
“Messi said he wanted to give a special gift to all the players and staff to celebrate the amazing win, but not a watch as usual. I suggested gold iPhones with their names on it and he loved the idea.”
Argentina won their third World Cup in the 2022 World Cup final, beating France 4-2 on penalties. Qatar 2022 was the fifth World Cup in Lionel Messi’s career. The football player nicknamed GOAT managed to lift the world cup this time.
