FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirms the Miami spot at the FIFA Club World Cup as they become the 31st team to qualify for the 32-team tournament and will play the opening game on June 15 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
“We all know how Miami is in love with football and how Inter Miami is supported from across Florida and beyond for your exciting brand of football. Congratulations on your wonderful 2024 Supporters’ Shield success. You have shown that in the United States, you are consistently the best club on the field of play. “Therefore, I am proud to announce that as one of the best clubs in the world, you are deserved participants in the new FIFA Club World Cup 2025 as the host club representing the United States.”
The announcement was made official after another remarkable performance by Messi, the main star of Inter Miami's 6-2 win against the New England Revolution. The Argentine came off the bench in the second half of the match and made an instant impact by scoring an incredible hattrick. The victory also marks a record for Inter Miami, reaching 74 points, the highest number in an MLS regular season.
The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner continues to prove himself, as he recently also scored his 10th international hat trick to raise his career international total to 112 goals in Argentina thrashing over Bolivia 6-0 in a World Cup qualifier.
