Inter Miami Unveils Preseason Trip to Hong Kong Ahead of 2024 MLS Season, Headlined by Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets

The team announced on Friday that Inter Miami would visit Hong Kong as part of its forthcoming preseason. Details about the remaining games on the Asian trip will be revealed in the next weeks.

Encouraged by the midseason additions of Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, and Lionel Messi, Miami raised the Leagues Cup in August, winning its first-ever trophy.

In order to prepare for the 2024 season, the Herons will also travel abroad. On February 4, they will play the Hong Kong Team.

The opponents for Inter Miami are described as a “collection of the best players from the Hong Kong First Division League” on the team’s website.

About the news, co-owner David Beckham exclaimed.

He remarked, “Hong Kong is a gorgeous city with a great sports scene.” “I have traveled extensively throughout Asia throughout my career, so I am thrilled to be able to bring Inter Miami to play our first international tour match in this wonderful city.”

Hong Kong Stadium, which can hold 40,000 people, will host the game.

Prior to this, Miami was slated to travel to China for a postseason trip, playing matches on November 5 and November 8 against Qingdao Hainiu and Chengdu Rongcheng, respectively.

However, as Argentine journalist Gaston Edul noted, “bureaucratic and commercial issues” led to the cancellation of that tour.

In other Miami news, the squad is supposedly closing in on Luis Suarez, who will rejoin Messi, Busquets, and Alba in South Florida after leaving Barcelona.

After scoring the game’s lone goal in Gremio’s 1-0 victory over Vasco da Gama on Sunday, the 36-year-old Uruguayan striker bid farewell to the team’s supporters.

He is expected to sign a one-year contract with Miami, according to the Miami Herald.
