Inter Miami’s imminent participation in next year’s intercontinental club tournament comes just days after defeating 2023 MLS Cup winners, Columbus Crew, in their home turf to secure their first ever MLS Supporters’ Shield. Messi scored twice to push Miami across the finish line.
Prior to The Herons’ title-clinching win on Wednesday, fans speculated over the possibility of seeing Miami qualify to the tournaments first-ever edition after the official 12-venue announcement saw Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium in the list. Messi’s Miami, considering the venue-capacity of their very own 21,000-fan Chase Stadium, would have been placed to play in the NFL venue that holds over 65,000 fans.
Rumors of the Columbus Crew being in line to be selected as the last invitee also made their way around social media in the last few months, with the club being the current MLS Cup and Leagues Cup champions, as well as reaching the 2024 Concacaf Champions League final.
Miami would join Seattle Sounders (2022 Concacaf Champions League winners) as the only two MLS clubs set to participate in the summer tournament.
