To celebrate the brand’s national retail launch, fans are invited to submit their best trick shot on Instagram or TikTok by June 30.

Participants are encouraged to show off their most creative moves for a chance to win a trip to Miami and meet Messi in person.

Messi even posted a little trick shot inspiration on his Instagram.

Here’s how to join the challenge:

  • Record Your Shot: Grab an empty Más+ by Messi bottle (or another item), set it on a flat surface like a net, rim, or tee, and film your trick shot. Just make sure it’s under 45 seconds.
  • Post It: Upload your video to Instagram or TikTok with the hashtags #OneShotToMeetMessi and #MasbyMessiContest. Don’t forget to tag @masbymessi.
  • Bring the Style: Judges are looking for creativity, technique, and storytelling. And remember, you only get one entry—so make it count.
  • Heads up: Messi himself may be watching — and reposting his favorites.

Más+ by Messi is now available at more than 27,000 stores nationwide, including Walmart, Target, CVS, 7-Eleven, Publix, and Wawa locations in Miami.

Fans can also find it online and read more about the challenge by visiting masbymessi.com and Amazon.
