US EditionAfter 13 years, David Beckham's dream comes true: Inter Miami calls Miami home
The 26,700-seat stadium opened after more than a decade of planning, with construction still underway and temporary approvals needed for the match.
- On Saturday, Inter Miami played its first home match at Miami Freedom Park against Austin FC, hosting the game despite construction still in progress on the complex.
- Co-Owner David Beckham announced Miami as his choice thirteen years ago, with MLS Commissioner Don Garber noting the quest to bring the team to the city started more than a dozen years earlier.
- The stadium holds 26,700 seats, where fans celebrated with music icon Marc Anthony performing during an event featuring pink glow sticks and Lionel Messi's first goal at the new venue.
- Civic officials granted temporary approvals for Saturday's match because construction remained unfinished, though the team must still complete parks, retail shops, and obtain final governmental certifications for the site.
- Actor Matthew McConaughey wrote that Beckham 'supercharged' soccer in the U.S., transforming the league from a proving ground into a premier destination as Austin visited for the inaugural match.
