Inter Miami will premiere at home the new FIFA Club World Cup Against Al Ahly Egyptian, a competition in which the Argentine star Lionel Messi and his teammates will try to shine among the elite of world football.
The Floridano Club, founded in 2018, will live another important stage of its short history when it starts to roll the ball in the Hard Rock Stadium from Miami compared to about 65,000 spectators.
Invited by FIFA as a host team of this intercontinental tournament, Inter has before him an unbeatable opportunity to show himself to the world of football beyond the North American MLS.
The project, led by businessman Jorge Mas and former soccer player David Beckham, aspires to become a phenomenon Global after the revolution undertaken with the signing of Messi in 2023.
Al Ahly Egyptian, trained by the Spanish José Riveiro, has no outstanding star, but has the international experience that the young Inter Miami lacks with 12 titles of the African Champions League, and has just won his third consecutive league.
In front, Inter arrives with confidence after two win against Montreal (4-2) and Columbus Crew (5-1) in the MLs that buried a bad streak of results.
The picture trained by the Argentine Javier Mascherano has not always found the key this season, especially in defense, which has made him fit painful defeats such as the recent 0-3 in the Floridan derby against the Orlando.
But in times of doubt, you can always count on Messi. The Rosario, about to turn 38, is still a competitive beast. He arrives entated after adding five goals and three assists in the last three League meetings, and usually participates in all the good of his team.
When what time does the Inter Miami of Messi play in the Club World Cup?
