The Argentina captain’s new initiative will be dedicated to family programming through the development and production of premium television, film, live sporting and community events.
It will also focus on the production of branded content and commercials for athletes worldwide.
Messi said: “Entertainment has always been a passion for me whether that be on the pitch or in other areas.
“I’m really motivated by the opportunity to pursue the project we created with SMUGGLER Entertainment and to expand it further to create content and experiences on a global scale through this new venture.”
The Barcelona legend’s family will be involved in 525 ROSARIO and will look to turn it into a benchmark of global entertainment.
Messi’s family added: “The goal remains to inspire and connect with people around the world in a completely new way, and we are looking forward to this venture.
“We would like to continue advancing in the entertainment sector, bringing new initiatives and productions with global reach through innovative storytelling, programming, and experiences.”
Messi has been dominating the MLS ever since his arrival in Miami last year.
The ex-Paris Saint-Germain star has amassed a staggering total of 27 goals and 17 assists in 31 appearances.

Jesy revealed she had fled to Los Angeles in the aftermath of her break-up as she showed off a slew of new images on Instagram.
All attention was on her brand new neck inking which was hard to miss in the close-up snap.
At the base of her neck, the Boyz singer has chosen to have the words “love girl” etched onto her skin.
The singer proudly showed off the ink which she appears to have added in the wake of the demise of her doomed romance to Zion.
Commenting on her new inking and her trip away to the States, one of Jesy’s followers said: “Loveeeee the new tattoo.”
Another appeared shocked as they asked: “ITS A REAL TATTOO ON YOUR NECK?!?!?!?!?”
Before a third penned: “Happy Jesy is my fav you shining so much!”
The Sun were the first to confirm they had gone their separate ways after things went sour between the 33-year-old and Zion, 24.
Having planned to release a slate of tracks together, they debuted one song back in August but Jesy has since demanded Zion scraps plans to release the rest of the tracks they created together as a result of their split.
They got back together earlier this year, but unfollowed each other in recent weeks on social media – and she has wiped all traces of Zion.
A source: “Jesy and Zion split last month and have completely cut ties with each other.

“It’s not the first time they have broken up but friends think it’s for good this time.
“It’s slightly awkward though because they had an EP ready of music they have made together and Jesy doesn’t want it released now.
“Fans have already heard one of their tracks and were hoping for more, but it’s looking pretty unlikely at this point.”

A MAJOR bargain chain with 187 branches has announced a 50 per cent closing down sale after it revealed it is preparing to shut a “brilliant” store for good.
It’s understood that the closure is down to the building being redeveloped and the chain being unable to renew the lease.
A spokesperson from The Original Factory Shop said: “After the landlord informed us that they were redeveloping our Deal store, we were unable to renew the lease.
“We want to remain in town and our property team would consider any alternative suitable sites.
“We are working hard to support all of those colleagues that will be affected and seeking to redeploy them across our business.”
After the Deal store closes, three of The Original Factory Shops will remain in Kent: Tenterden, Biggin Hill and Headcorn.
EMPTY shops have become an eyesore on many British high streets and are often symbolic of a town centre’s decline.
The Sun’s business editor Ashley Armstrong explains why so many retailers are shutting their doors.
In many cases, retailers are shutting stores because they are no longer the money-makers they once were because of the rise of online shopping.
Falling store sales and rising staff costs have made it even more expensive for shops to stay open. In some cases, retailers are shutting a store and reopening a new shop at the other end of a high street to reflect how a town has changed.
The problem is that when a big shop closes, footfall falls across the local high street, which puts more shops at risk of closing.
Retail parks are increasingly popular with shoppers, who want to be able to get easy, free parking at a time when local councils have hiked parking charges in towns.
Many retailers including Next and Marks & Spencer have been shutting stores on the high street and taking bigger stores in better-performing retail parks instead.
Boss Stuart Machin recently said that when it relocated a tired store in Chesterfield to a new big store in a retail park half a mile away, its sales in the area rose by 103 per cent.
In some cases, stores have been shut when a retailer goes bust, as in the case of Wilko, Debenhams Topshop, Dorothy Perkins and Paperchase to name a few.
What’s increasingly common is when a chain goes bust a rival retailer or private equity firm snaps up the intellectual property rights so they can own the brand and sell it online.
They may go on to open a handful of stores if there is customer demand, but there are rarely ever as many stores or in the same places.
Other The Original Factory Shop closures
The Deal store closure is not the only one to be announced by The Original Factory Shop this year either.
It has already pulled the shutters down on seven stores in recent months:
The openings form part of Aldi‘s long-term target of 1,500 stores in the UK.
The supermarket is set to invest £550million in expanding its UK footprint this year alone.
Aldi said each new store opening will create around 40 new jobs on average.
In recent months, Asda has been opening hundreds of convenience stores as it seeks to rival major players Tesco and Sainsbury’s.
B&M plans to open “not less than” 45 brand new stores across the UK in each of the next two consecutive years.
Purepay Retail Limited, the parent company of Bonmarché, Edinburgh Woollen Mill (EWM), and Peacocks, has said it wants to open 100 new high-street stores over the next 18 months.
It has yet to give the exact locations where it will open the 100 stores or when they will open.
you shining so much!”
