Lionel Messi is going to lead the

Inter
Miami, representing MLS as the host club in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, will
be led by Lionel Messi. This was revealed by FIFA President Gianni Infantino
following Inter Miami's 2024 Supporters' Shield triumph, emphasizing the team's
accomplishments and fervent supporter base in Florida.
Since he will be leading Inter Miami
in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, Lionel Messi is anticipated to participate in
another World Cup. Major League Soccer (MLS) team Inter Miami will serve as the
tournament's host club, FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirmed.
At Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where Inter Miami had just won
the 2024 Supporters' Shield, Infantino made this announcement. Setting a new
record for the most points in a single season in Major League Soccer, the club
defeated the New England Revolution 6-2.
Infantino acknowledged the
tremendous support that Inter Miami has throughout Florida and expressed his
respect for the club's performance.
"You have demonstrated that you are the best club on the field of play in
the United States on a regular basis. Thus, the FIFA president was reported by
ESPN India as stating, "As one of the greatest clubs in the world, I am
proud to announce that you are deserved participants in the new FIFA Club World
Cup 2025 as the host club representing the United States."
2025 FIFA Club World Cup
32 teams from throughout the globe
will compete in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which is the first time the
championship has been enlarged from its original seven-team structure.
The competition is slated to take place in multiple locations around the United
States from June 15 to July 13, 2025. Infantino further declared that on July
15, 2025, Inter Miami would host the inaugural game at Hard Rock Stadium.
