Messi's Inter Miami to visit White House: US media
- Inter Miami CF will visit the White House on Thursday, March 5, to mark their 2025 MLS Cup win, according to a White House official.
- Championship visits are common across major U.S. sports but MLS visits are less frequent; Columbus Crew met the president in 2023 and DC United were the first MLS visitors in 1998, with David Beckham attending in 2011.
- Officials spoke on background and a White House official said on condition of anonymity about plans, while an unnamed Inter Miami source said 'everyone' will attend; full details are expected next week.
- Trump’s public soccer involvement includes hosting Cristiano Ronaldo and meeting FIFA president Gianni Infantino, signaling growing engagement with the sport.
- Messi's presence is notable because he is likely to attend the White House visit on March 5, two days before the March 7 game, despite missing the January 2025 Medal of Freedom ceremony. a White House official said on condition of anonymity.
