Brazilian bank to sponsor Inter Miami’s new stadium | OneFootball

The new stadium of Inter Miami featuring Lionel Messi will officially be named Nu Stadium, as part of a new partnership with the Brazilian digital bank Nubank, the Florida club announced this Wednesday.

The stadium, with a capacity for 26,700 spectators, is set to be inaugurated on April 4, during the match against Austin FC, in the MLS.

Since joining the American soccer league in 2020, Inter has been using Chase Stadium as its home, located in Fort Lauderdale, a city in the Miami metropolitan area where the club also has its training center.

Agreement with Nubank

“Nu is exactly the partner we were looking for: driven by the same innovative mindset and global ambition that define Inter Miami,” said Jorge Mas, the club's principal owner, in the announcement.

One of the leading digital banks in the world, Nubank is also present in Mexico and Colombia and, in January this year, received initial approval to operate as a bank in the United States.

The company was founded in 2013 in São Paulo with the promise of offering alternatives to the traditional banking system and today ranks among the top five most valued in Latin America, with a net profit of US$ 895 million (R$ 4.6 billion) in 2025, with 131 million customers.

Under the agreement with Inter Miami, whose financial details were not disclosed, the Nubank logo will also appear on the back of the team's jersey when this advertising is introduced in the MLS starting in August.

The new stadium, which will also host concerts and other events, will be located in Miami Freedom Park, a 58-hectare recreational and commercial area under construction near the international airport.

“Nu Stadium will consolidate our brand in the United States, allowing a connection with a diverse international community while we build the most influential consumer technology platform in the world,” said Cristina Junqueira, co-founder and CEO of the bank in the United States.
