Lionel Messi is a professional footballer who plays for the Spanish team Barcelona and theArgentina national team.
Last month, he was awarded a fifth FIFA Ballon d'Or that goes to the world's best male player.
Murtaza plays soccer near his house and does not have a proper field, football jersey or sportsshoes.
But he dreams of becoming a famous player like Messi, his father says.
We want to go to Spain so that Murtaza would be able to meet his idol Messi face to face, sincehe is a huge fan of him.
Even when he wakes up he says I love Messi.
Murtaza's wish may yet be fulfilled.
His new celebrity status has prompted Afghan football officials to contact's Messi's charitableorganization to see if a meeting can be arranged.
