Lionel Messi arrived in Oviedo, Spain, on Thursday, October 22, 2026, where CNN Portugal reported he was greeted by dozens of supporters outside the Hotel de la Reconquista ahead of receiving the 2026 Princesa de Asturias Sports Award.
Arrival and Public Reception in Oviedo
SAPO reported that the Argentine forward landed at Asturias Airport in a private jet accompanied by his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo. Their arrival involved a heavy security detail consisting of an eight-vehicle Guardia Civil escort that kept the player away from roughly 50 people gathered at the airport, according to El Periódico Mediterráneo via SAPO.
Upon reaching the hotel, Messi was met by Ana Isabel Fernández, president of the Princesa de Asturias Foundation, as detailed by SAPO. CNN Portugal noted that his presence generated intense anticipation across the city, highlighted by 4,700 free tickets made available for a public meeting at the Oviedo Sports Palace selling out in just 13 minutes.
Student Engagement and High Demand
SAPO reported that the Thursday afternoon program included an engagement with the local student and academic community that drew nearly quarenta mil registrations for just três mil available slots. CNN Portugal added that the initiative involved approximately 1,500 students participating in the Princesa de Asturias Foundation’s educational program.
Jornal de Notícias noted that Antonela Roccuzzo drew attention during the visit by carrying an Hermès handbag valued at over 20 mil euros. Meanwhile, RTP stated that Messi expressed his hope to be remembered as a great sportsman.
Royal Meeting and Award Ceremony Schedule
CNN Portugal reported that Messi has a scheduled reception with the King and Queen of Spain alongside Princess Leonor. That meeting precedes the official award ceremony scheduled for Friday afternoon at the Campoamor Theater, recognizing both his career and the charitable work conducted through his foundation.

According to CNN Portugal, the football player’s stay in Spain will last less than 48 hours. The forward is scheduled to return to the United States immediately following the gala to prepare for Inter Miami’s match against the New York Red Bulls on Saturday.
