Inter Miami has denied information about a friendly with Al-Nassr in 2024. The match is expected to take place in February within the framework of the Riyadh Season Cup. This is a highly anticipated match when Messi and Ronaldo have the opportunity to face each other. However, Inter Miami recently issued a statement denying this news.

“Earlier today, an announcement was made stating that Inter Miami CF is scheduled to compete in the Riyadh Season Cup. This is not correct. The announcement included statements attributed to team owner Jorge Mas. Mr. Mas made no comments, either publicly or privately, regarding the pre-season tour.

From day one, Inter Miami CF has set its sights on becoming a global brand. To achieve this goal, we have been in discussions to determine the 2024 pre-season schedule. We look forward to featuring our players on Inter Miami CF’s first international tour, scheduled will be announced in the coming weeks.”

Messi is gathering with the Argentina team to participate in the 2026 World Cup qualifying matches. After defeating Brazil at the Maracana, Messi will rest for a while before returning to pre-season training with Inter Miami. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo will continue to fight in the Saudi Pro League with Al-Nassr this weekend.
