The team is called Deportivo LSM, a combination of Luis Suarez and Messi. The team is expected to start playing in Uruguay's fourth division from 2026. This is also the project that these two famous players are preparing after they retire and end their playing careers at the current Inter Miami club, Marca said.

"Today, I want to give Uruguayan football, the sport that I loved and grew up with as a child, the possibilities and tools so that all young people and children can develop. That's why I founded my club and started competing in tournaments within the AUF (Uruguayan Football Federation) system. This is something that creates a lot of excitement for us, and is a step forward for me and my family in a project that we believe in," Suarez said on the day he announced his debut for Deportivo LSM.

"This dream does not stop here, it is shared with family, friends and very close people. We have lived a lot in common since we were children, we have shared many experiences in the world of top football. And that is why today I want to introduce a friend, a partner. This project is the perfect place to continue sharing our vision of football and having the same vision from the beginning", Messi emphasized when confirming that he and Suarez are co-owners of the Deportivo LSM team.
