What's special about Beckham's team recruiting Messi?

Lionel Messi chose Inter Miami as his destination after leaving PSG. Not only joining the American Major League Soccer (MLS) team as a player, the Argentine superstar will receive 35% of the shares to become a shareholder of this club.

Inter Miami is a football team owned by David Beckham. The former English football star and two American businessmen, Jorge Mas (president of Real Zaragoza Club - Spain) and Jose Mas, co-own this club.

Messi will become a shareholder of Inter Miami.

In 2007, David Beckham joined LA Galaxy with an option to become the owner of an MLS franchise. Beckham exercised this option in 2014 to become the owner of Inter Miami. The team debuted in 2018 before entering the 2020 season.

During its formation, Inter Miami was involved in a commercial lawsuit with Inter Milan. The names of the two teams were confusing. In the US, Inter Miami registered the commercial name Club Internacional de Futbol Miami. Meanwhile, Inter Milan registered the commercial name in the US as Football Club Internazionale Milano. Up to now, the two clubs still use the same name.

Inter Miami competes in Major League Soccer. This league has a different format than most professional national championship systems in the world . MLS is divided into two regions, East and West. Inter Miami competes in the East region. Inter Miami's best result to date is 6th place in the 2022 regional round. However, they failed in the knockout round.

Inter Miami's home stadium is DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (USA) with a capacity of 18,000 spectators. David Beckham and his associates have plans to move the team to a larger stadium. This is necessary because with Lionel Messi in the squad, Inter Miami's appeal will be huge.

Inter Miami's most recent coach was also a famous former player - Phil Neville. However, this season's poor results (Inter Miami is currently at the bottom of the table after 16 rounds) caused the former Man Utd defender to be fired in early June. Neville's replacement to lead Inter Miami is assistant Javier Morales.

In the history of Inter Miami, Gonzalo Higuain was the most famous star before Messi joined. Higuain played for the team from 2020 before retiring at the end of 2022. In addition, some other famous players such as Ryan Shawcross, Blaise Matuidi, Kieran Gibbs also played for Inter Miami. Another Inter Miami player who is closer to Vietnamese fans is Lee Nguyen.

According to The Athletic, Messi will debut for his new team in the match between Inter Miami and Cruz Azul on July 21. This is a match in the Leagues Cup, an annual tournament combining teams from MLS and Liga MX (Mexico).
