It will be held between December 9 and 14 later this year.
Chelsea, Man City and the other six U16 sides will be split into two groups of four and play in a round-robin format.
The winners of each group will then progress to a play-off round, hoping to secure their place in the final.
The third-place play-off and final then take place on the last day, with those fixtures played at the Chase Stadium.
Messi will be attending the tournament named after him, while there will also be an industry summit hosted during the event.
The Messi Cup website states: "The leading minds in business, design, creativity and culture will be hosted at the Faena Forum."
