Inter Miami CF

Years before it was founded in 2018 as Club Internacional de Fútbol Miami (a tribute to the city’s Spanish-speaking Latin culture), Inter Miami CF was already attached to one of the most famous names in world soccer: David Beckham. Upon his retirement from professional soccer in 2013, Beckham embarked upon founding a new MLS expansion franchise in Miami along with several business partners. With their famous owner drawing eyes from across the US and around the world, Inter Miami CF kicked off their first season in 2018, finishing 10th in their conference with a record of 7-13-3. The team has not exactly been successful on the field yet, and were in dead last place in mid-2023 when they made an announcement that would shock the soccer world: Inter Miami CF had signed Argentinian superstar Lionel Messi on a free transfer. Messi is, of course, one of the greatest soccer players of all time, and his arrival had an instant impact, both on and off the field, for Inter Miami CF. Not only has the team drawn in record crowds (both home and away) but they have actually started to win soccer games, to the point where now, in mid-2024, they are currently top of the MLS Seems like having the best soccer player of all time in your ranks isn’t such a bad plan.

Rival Teams

Nothing gets MLS soccer fans jumping up and down quite like seeing their team square off against a major rival.

Here are two of Inter Miami CF’s most significant rivalries.

Inter Miami CF vs Orlando City SC

As the two MLS teams based in Florida, Inter Miami CF and Orlando City SC have become instant local rivals, battling for supremacy over the Sunshine State. While the rivalry is still in its infancy, fans have already shown themselves to be willing to travel to away games and make their voices heard, creating a fantastic atmosphere. The 2024 season will see Inter Miami CF and Orlando City SC play twice: at Chase Stadium in Miami/Fort Lauderdale on March 2 and at Exploria Stadium in Orlando on May 15.

Inter Miami CF vs Nashville SC

The rivalry between Inter Miami CF and Nashville SC has heated up quickly due to a number of exciting games between the pair in recent seasons. Most memorably, Inter Miami CF, led by Lionel Messi, defeated Nashville SC in a dramatic penalty shootout that went to a score of 10-9 to win the 2023 Leagues Cup, Miami’s first ever trophy as a franchise.

How will Inter Miami CF do in the 2024 MLS Regular Season?

As of June 6, Inter Miami CF are leading the Eastern Conference and have the best record in the entire MLS, putting them on track for the coveted Supporters' Shield. With Messi and Luis Suarez soon departing for the Copa America, however, there are some questions about whether the team’s talented but aging attackers and leaky defense can sustain this form through to October. Where there’s a Messi, there’s a way though, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see Inter Miami CF at the top of the leaderboard at season’s end.

How will Inter Miami CF do in the 2024 MLS Playoffs?

After such a great start, anything short of a massive collapse will see Inter Miami CF progress with ease into the 2024 MLS Playoffs. How they fare in the Playoffs after a long grueling season is another matter, however. But with proven winners in their ranks like Messi, Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba, they are certainly one of the favorites for the MLS Cup Final on December 7.

Is David Beckham really the owner of Inter Miami CF?

Yes! David Beckham is part-owner along with American billionaire Jorge Mas. With possibly the most recognizable face in worldwide sport in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Beckham shocked the soccer world in 2007 when he moved from Real Madrid in Spain to Los Angeles to play for the LA Galaxy in 2007 at a time when America was considered a soccer backwater. Beckham’s five years with the Galaxy brought unprecedented levels of excitement and interest to the MLS and the sport of soccer in America, helping to grow the game to where it is firmly embedded in the American sporting consciousness in a way that it never was prior to his arrival. Incredibly, it was actually Beckham who was responsible for bringing Messi to south Florida, eclipsing himself as the most famous MLS transfer of all time by landing perhaps an even more famous transfer as an owner.
