History

Club Internacional de Fútbol Miami (lit. Miami International Football Club), commonly referred to as Inter Miami (Spanish: Inter de Miami), is an American professional soccer club based in the Miami metropolitan area. The club competes in Major League Soccer (MLS) as a member of the Eastern Conference. Inter Miami plays their home matches at Chase Stadium, with plans to move to Miami Freedom Park in 2026.

On January 29, 2018, MLS officially approved an expansion team in Miami.[3][4] The club garnered international attention prior to their founding because of co-owner Beckham, and again in 2023 with the signing of Lionel Messi on a free transfer. Since the team began playing in the 2020 season, the club has signed several other high-profile players such as Blaise Matuidi, Gonzalo Higuaín, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Luis Suárez.

The Fort Lauderdale Strikers announced in 2016 that they were moving out of Lockhart Stadium,[2] after which the stadium fell into a state of disrepair.[3] In January 2019, Major League Soccer expansion team Inter Miami CF announced its intentions to pursue the Lockhart Stadium site to serve as the clubs training ground for its first team, youth academy, and then-future USL League One (USL1) team Fort Lauderdale CF. The Fort Lauderdale city council unanimously approved Inter Miamis bid for the Lockhart Stadium site in March 2019. In April, the Fort Lauderdale City Commission gave approval to Inter Miami to begin the demolition process.

On July 9, 2019, the Fort Lauderdale City Commission unanimously approved a 50-year lease agreement for the Lockhart Stadium site with Inter Miami; under the terms of the agreement, the city of Fort Lauderdale will retain ownership of the property while Inter Miami will be responsible for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the new facilities.[5] The stadium is intended to be an interim facility for Inter Miami CF until the completion of the proposed Miami Freedom Park stadium in Miami; the expansion franchise was granted on the condition that a stadium eventually be built in Miami.
