“This will be a great opportunity to continue building on our 2023 campaign, in which we achieved our first-ever trophy. We will take this as an opportunity to begin our preparations for 2024, as we look to build on last season and find more success moving forward,” said Sporting Director and Chief Soccer Officer Chris Henderson.
It is understood that this is the first overseas tour for Miami International. There were reports that the team had originally planned to play one game in China and another in Japan, but due to various reasons, the match in Japan was canceled, and they subsequently aimed to add a game in China.
Inter Miami’s second stop will see the Club visit Chengdu Rongcheng at the Phoenix Hill Sports Park, which seats over 60,000 spectators. Chengdu Rongcheng was founded in 2018, around the same time Inter Miami came into existence. Upon its founding, Chengdu Rongcheng entered into the country’s fourth division; the team went on to earn promotion in three of its first four seasons, reaching the Chinese topflight. Last year, in its first season in the first division, the team continued its upward trajectory, finishing fifth out of 18 teams. The team currently sits in sixth place in the Chinese Super League standings and boasts a brand new state-of-the-art facility.
In accordance with the preliminary details, the Miami International team also plans to hold fan meet-and-greet sessions and other interactive activities. The exact schedule for the team is being communicated with the Miami International Club, and it is expected that there will be a clear statement next week.
It is worth mentioning that Beckham, the chairman of the Miami International Club, will also embark on the China tour with the team.
