Lionel Messi honoured with own stand as Inter Miami enter Nu Stadium era | OneFootball

Inter Miami have named a stand after Lionel Messi ahead of the club’s Nu Stadium debut on 4 April.

The club said in a statement that the tribute is intended to reflect the present, capturing the feeling when Messi steps onto the pitch, and that recognising someone can be about witnessing something singular rather than closing a chapter.

The Leo Messi Stand will span sections 117 to 121 in the lower bowl and 217 to 223 in the upper bowl.

Announced before the first game at the new venue, the gesture celebrates the Argentine’s achievements in Miami and across the game.

The Nu Stadium is scheduled to open when Inter Miami face Austin FC next Saturday.
