Inter Miami CF is a professional soccer club based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, competing in Major League Soccer's Eastern Conference. The team plays its home matches at DRV PNK Stadium, with plans for a future iconic stadium in Miami. Co-owned by global icon David Beckham, the club launched in 2020 with immense global attention and expectations. The early seasons were a mix of flashes of potential and frustrating inconsistency. However, the club's trajectory changed seismically in the summer of 2023 with the arrival of Argentine legend Lionel Messi, along with former Barcelona teammates Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. This transformed Inter Miami into a global phenomenon, leading them to their first trophy, the 2023 Leagues Cup, in dramatic fashion. The "Messi effect" has brought unprecedented spotlight and commercial success to the club and the league. The team's vibrant pink and black colors and its aspirational brand reflect the glamour of South Florida. While navigating injuries and a crowded schedule, Inter Miami, with its mix of global superstars and promising young talent, is now focused on building a dynasty and competing for the MLS Cup, forever changing the landscape of North American soccer.
