Inter Miami to face-off New York City FC in a friendly match at DRV PNK Stadium.
The Argentine Lionel Messi will play a part in the match, adding to his fitness for upcoming international duties. The match will also give a chance for fans to honor Messi’s eighth Ballon d’Or win before the year ends.
While Inter Miami’s 2023 competitive campaign may be over, the team aims to stay relevant as Messi prepares for Argentina’s upcoming international fixtures, including a World Cup qualifier against Brazil. The match against NYCFC will be crucial for maintaining match fitness for Messi, especially after Inter Miami’s failure to advance in the MLS playoffs.
Inter Miami’s head coach Tata Martino confirmed that Messi will play in the game. The friendly match has been organized to give Messi an opportunity to compete and celebrate his Ballon d’Or win with his teammates.
With Inter Miami out of the MLS playoffs, this friendly match serves as a replacement for the canceled pair of games in China. The match is expected to keep Messi fit and ready for Argentina’s upcoming matches against Uruguay and Brazil.
The Inter Miami vs NYCFC friendly will be streamed live globally on Apple TV. The kickoff will be on Friday, November 10 at 8 p.m. local time in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The time difference in other major territories will also be accommodated for live viewers.
Watching the match will be exclusive to the MLS Season Pass on Apple TV, the same home of the 2023 MLS Cup playoffs. Also, pre-match festivities to celebrate Messi’s eighth Ballon d’Or win will start two hours before the match’s kickoff.
