Messi, Inter Miami’s Club World Cup Announcement Set; PSG Encounter Possibile | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain could soon face Lionel Messi again, despite his departure from the club last year. It’s an interesting twist, as many believed their on-field encounters had ended last season.

Earlier this month, Inter Miami defeated the Columbus Crew to secure their first-ever MLS Supporters’ Shield. The trophy, awarded to the team with the most points in the regular season, is a significant achievement, but the story goes beyond that.

Journalist Ben Jacobs recently reported for Give Me Sport that Inter Miami is expected to be named the host representative for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium could also be the venue for their opening match.

On Friday, Jacobs provided a follow up report that Inter Miami will be announced as a Club World Cup qualifier on Saturday.

It will be interesting to see if PSG, who is already qualified for this competition next summer, and Messi cross paths in this competition, as it will likely open up the drama over these two seasons and their departure.
