On January 9, Messi and his Inter Miami teammates met to train in preparation for the 2025 MLS season. David Beckham’s team, president and co-owner, has just added another tournament full of surprises.
According to the newspaper AS (Spain), Messi and his Inter Miami teammates will have a very surprising match on the tour of Peru with Club Universitario scheduled for January 25. This match schedule has been confirmed. Thus, it became the team’s tour abroad before the new season, after only 2 matches have been played in the United States.
Specifically, Inter Miami will begin its training match with a match against Club América (Mexico) at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas with a capacity of up to 65,000 spectators, which will take place on January 18. Tickets for this match have now increased to 100 USD/ticket, according to journalist José Armando from Deporte Total USA .
The next game Messi and his teammates are scheduled to play in the United States is against Orlando City Club at Raymond James Stadium on February 14. However, this match will now take place immediately after Inter Miami’s new scheduled tour of Peru with Club Universitario (January 25 at the Monumental in Peru), AS reported.
This is the first event that David Beckham’s team has come to this country to compete, which shows great interest from fans here. Above all, there is the presence of Messi, Suárez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, top stars who continue to play for Inter Miami in the new season.
After pre-season tours and training matches, Messi and Inter Miami will approach their first very important official match in the CONCACAF Champions Cup in Round 1 against Sporting Kansas City with 2 matches including the first leg on February 18 and the return leg on February 25. Before that, on February 22, they will play the opening match of the 2025 MLS (American professional soccer league) against New York City FC at Chase’s home field.
This is an extremely busy and tough competition schedule, Messi and his teammates are expected to return to training on January 10th. However, the 37-year-old Argentine player returned to training 2 days earlier. He and Suarez also trained with their personal fitness trainer almost a week ago while they were in Argentina during the New Year holidays.
Messi is also under contract with Inter Miami until the end of the 2025 season, and is also expected to participate in tournaments such as the MLS, CONCACAF Champions Cup and Leagues Cup. The famous player and his teammates are also attending the FIFA Club World Cup in mid-June.
Billionaire Jorge Mas, co-owner of Inter Miami with Mr. David Beckham, has confirmed again his intention to sit down with Messi soon to negotiate to activate the extension until 2026 and sign at least 1 more year of extension when this famous player turns 40 in 2027.
