Inter Miami, the Southern Florida team led by coach Gerardo Martino, kicks off their series of friendly matches with a game against the El Salvador national team on Friday at 8 p.m. Eastern Time at the Cuscatlán Stadium in San Salvador. The team, comprising football stars Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba, embarks on a seven-match tour, including stops in El Salvador, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, and Japan, before concluding in Miami against Argentina's Newell’s Old Boys.
The quartet, previously teammates at Barcelona, has reunited to take on the challenges of Major League Soccer (MLS) with Inter Miami. The team's newest addition, Luis Suárez, who joins from Brazil's Gremio, brings a goal-scoring prowess, having netted 26 goals in 22 matches last year. Suárez aims to complement the star-studded lineup and form a formidable attacking force with his former Barcelona colleagues.
El Salvador is eagerly anticipating the arrival of Messi and his companions, with the Cuscatlán Stadium expected to be at full capacity. Tickets range from $200 to $475, and a maximum of 12 tickets can be purchased per credit card. The Spanish coach of the El Salvador team, David Dóniga, acknowledges the challenge of facing such exceptional players but emphasizes the importance of collective effort to counter the Argentine maestro.
The Inter Miami pre-season tour includes matches against Dallas FC in the United States and two encounters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, against Al Hilal and Al-Nassr, featuring notable players like Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo. The tour concludes back in Miami with matches against Hong Kong XI and Vissel Kobe from the Japanese league, culminating with a showdown against Lionel Messi's favorite Argentine team, Newell’s Old Boys. The tour promises exciting matchups and reunions, making it a compelling spectacle for football fans worldwide.
