Lionel Messi ready to lead Inter Miami in 2025 FIFA Club World Cup

Lionel Messi and Inter Miami prepare for a new challenge — the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup starting today in the United States.

This prestigious competition features a new 32-team format from various confederations — marking The Herons’ first intercontinental tournament appearance.

Inter Miami secured their participation slot as Major League Soccer (MLS) representative after claiming last season’s Supporter’s Shield. Lionel Messi’s team showed impressive performance — accumulating 74 points throughout the 2024 season, the highest among all MLS clubs.
