Inter Miami CF (abbreviated as "Inter Miami", English name: Miami International FC) was founded on January 28, 2018. It is a Major League Soccer team based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, established by an investment group led by David Beckham, and officially competed in the 2020 season.
This young team has gained significant attention due to Beckham's star power and the signing of world-class players like Messi and Busquets in 2023. In Messi's first season with the team, they historically won the Leagues Cup and, in 2024, won the MLS Supporters' Shield for the first time, setting a new record for points in the league.
The team faced difficulties in early site selection, suffered a defeat in their debut in 2020, and then experienced a turning point in 2023. With the arrival of Messi's team, Inter Miami not only made significant progress in competitive performance but also saw its commercial value rise to second in the league. The team faced controversy during the 2024 Hong Kong exhibition match, as Messi's absence caused a huge uproar.
