Lionel Messi and Inter Miami set to tour North, South and Central America as part of five-game preseason schedule

CF America

<p>Inter Miami unveiled the club's preseason plan on Friday, confirming a five-match schedule leading up to the 2025 MLS season. After playing in Asia as part of a globe-trotting 2024 tour, the Herons will stay in the Western Hemisphere this time around as they bounce across North, South and Central America.</p><p>Up first will be a match with Mexican champions Club America on Jan. 18 in Las Vegas before the club heads south to Peru to face Universitario in Lima on Jan. 29. Miami will then head to Panama to face Sporting San Miguelito on Feb. 2 before then travelling to Honduras to face Olimpia in San Pedro Sula six days later. The tour will conclude on Feb. 14 with a match against rivals Orlando City in Tampa.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Herons continue to bring their star-studded act on tour in an attempt to grow the club's brand, but it's clear that they did learn a bit from last season's worldwide tour. Ahead of the 2024 season, the club logged plenty of travel miles, and took some ugly on-field losses along the way, leading to some sluggish moments early in the MLS season.</p><p>Ultimately, the Herons won the Supporters' Shield, but that wasn't enough in the end as they fell to Atlanta Untied in the first round of the MLS Playoffs in one of the league's all-time great upsets.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>“We’re very excited to unveil the five matches against domestic and international opponents across the Americas that will prepare us for a highly anticipated 2025. These fixtures will put us in the best possible position ahead of an unparalleled campaign with various competitions we're playing for this year - the FIFA Club World Cup, CONCACAF Champions Cup, Leagues Cup and MLS,” Inter Miami president of football operations Raul Sanlleh said in a statement.</p>

WHAT TEAM SAID

<p>The club's preseason will be the first under new head coach Javier Mascherano, who replaced  Tata Martino following the 2024 season. He'll not only lead Miami into the MLS season, but also the CONCACAF Champions Cup, beginning on Feb. 18, and the Club World Cup, which kicks off in June.</p>
