Before the official kickoff of their MLS season, Inter Miami continues their pre-season preparations abroad. The franchise, led by Lionel Messi, will play two more matches as part of its South American tour, with a highly anticipated clash scheduled this Sunday against SC Barcelona in Ecuador.

The Guayaquil club, currently sitting third in their league, is treating this encounter as a major event. With important Copa Libertadores fixtures approaching, the Ecuadorian side sees this friendly as not only a valuable dress rehearsal, but also a symbolic occasion.

According to Mundo Deportivo, excitement is already running high locally, fueled by the prospect of seeing Messi step onto Ecuadorian soil. It’s just a pre-season match, but it promises a world-class spectacle.
