Inter Miami CF is poised to make history this summer as they participate in their first-ever FIFA Club World Cup. The tournament, set to take place from June 15 to July 13, 2025, marks a significant milestone for the club and Major League Soccer (MLS) as a whole.
Qualification and Group Stage
Inter Miami secured their spot in the tournament by winning the 2024 MLS Supporters’ Shield, finishing the regular season with a record-breaking 74 points. This achievement granted them the host nation’s slot in the expanded 32-team format of the Club World Cup.
Drawn into Group A, Inter Miami will face formidable opponents:
- June 14 vs. Al Ahly FC (Egypt) at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, Florida
- June 19 vs. FC Porto (Portugal) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, Georgia
- June 23 vs. Palmeiras (Brazil) at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, Florida
Team Form and Preparations
Despite a challenging run in recent MLS matches, with only one win in their last seven games, Inter Miami remains focused on the upcoming tournament.
Lionel Messi, the team’s captain, has called for unity and resilience as they prepare to face international competition.
The club has also bolstered its squad by signing goalkeeper William Yarbrough, following an injury to starter Drake Callender. Yarbrough brings experience and is eager to contribute to the team’s success on the global stage.
Looking Ahead
As Inter Miami prepares to host and compete in the FIFA Club World Cup, the team aims to showcase the growth and potential of MLS on an international platform. With a blend of seasoned veterans and emerging talents, they are set to represent not just their club but also the aspirations of American soccer fans worldwide.
