An Indian history is only hours away from the making, with the first ever FIFA Official International Friendly in the country set to kick off Friday featuring superstar Lionel Messi-led star-studded Argentina and a resurgent Venezuela here.

The match, being played at the Yuva Bharati Krirangan (YBK) - the world's second largest stadium by capacity, is one of the most high profile to have been staged in the sub-continent. It will also end India?s soccer crazy city Kolkata?s wait to see the prince of football in action.
