Inter Miami preseason 2025 tour schedule: Lionel Messi, MLS club to embark on Americas tour

Lionel Messi and Inter Miami fell short of their goals in 2024, so the 2025 season will be all about redemption.

The club won the MLS Supporters’ Shield last year as the best regular-season side, but they were upset in the second round of the playoffs by Atlanta United.

It was a disappointing end to a promising year, leading to lots of change within the club. Head coach Gerardo Martino departed, replaced by former Barcelona and Argentina star Javier Mascherano. They sold Diego Gomez to Brighton & Hove Albion over the offseason, while Leonardo Campana and Matias Rojas both also departed.

The Sporting News brings you an overview of Inter Miami’s preseason schedule as the club looks towards 2025 with an eye towards making good on the broken promises of last year.

Inter Miami preseason 2025 tour schedule

Inter Miami will embark on a 2025 preseason tour across the Americas that will not only get the club ready for the coming season but also increase their profile around the region.

It started with a match against Mexican giants Club America, who won their third straight Liga MX title last season. The clubs played to a 2-2 draw on a 92nd-minute Tomas Aviles equalizer, with Inter Miami winning the penalty shootout.

Messi is with the team and played in that match, as the star ramps up for upcoming campaign. He scored in the Club America game and hopes to keep firing as they steam towards competitive matches.

Coming up next, they travel to Peru to face two-time domestic champions Universitario de Deportes, who will host Inter Miami at Estadio Monumental. They will visit Panama to take on Sporting San Miguelito four days later, and wrap up the Americas trip with a game against Honduran giants CD Olimpia.

They will then return home for a domestic-based meeting against cross-state rivals Orlando City in Tampa, before Inter Miami begin their competitive matches.
