Inter Miami CF

Inter Miami CF represents South Florida from Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, where the arrival of Lionel Messi in 2023 transformed the club into a global phenomenon and the epicenter of American soccer's mainstream breakthrough. The club's pink and black colors and the presence of global icons have made Inter Miami the most watched team in MLS and a magnet for international attention. The club's ambitious ownership, led by David Beckham and Jorge Mas, has built a squad designed to compete at the highest level. Chase Stadium's intimate atmosphere has witnessed historic moments as Messi and his former Barcelona teammates have brought world-class football to South Florida. Inter Miami embodies the glamour of Miami, the global appeal of soccer superstars, and the rapid growth of the sport in the United States.

Founded in 2018 with MLS play beginning in 2020, Inter Miami's trajectory changed forever when Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba joined in July 2023. The club won its first trophy that summer, the Leagues Cup, defeating Nashville SC on penalties in the final and announcing their arrival as a force in North American football. The 2025 MLS Cup triumph over Vancouver Whitecaps crowned a dramatic rise and qualified the club for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The Messi effect has transformed attendance, television ratings, and the global perception of MLS. Inter Miami's story represents the potential of American soccer when the world's greatest players choose to compete in North America.
