David Beckham, who was shocked by Lionel Messi’s performance, withdrew his claims weeks after the FIFA scandal.Inter Miami is currently embroiled in a FIFA controversy due to their controversial inclusion in the Club World Cup next summer. Additionally,

 

the future of their star player, Lionel Messi, is uncertain following a surprise play-off loss to Atlanta United.Inter Miami was verified by FIFA to participate in the Club World Cup following their winning of the Supporters’ Shield, which is granted to the team with the most impressive regular-season record in Major League Soccer.

 

Nevertheless, the MLS Cup is held in December, and the end-of-season qualifiers are conducted to determine the champion. The decision from FIFA was greeted with a fierce backlash from fans of other clubs in the American league system. There were no established criteria for inclusion in the global tournament, and some rival supporters suggested that favouritism may have been a factor.

Inter Miami, who are the owners of former England captain David Beckham and boast a star-studded squad that includes Ballon d’Or record holder Messi, will serve as the host of the inaugural game of the 2025 Club World Cup. Nevertheless, they will not be represented as MLS Cup champions in the tournament, and manager Tata Martino hinted that their star player may not have much time remaining in the United States for the tournament.

 

“I believe that the club’s advancement is significant when one considers the context in which this was initiated.” The club’s objectives have been altered, as evidenced by the comparison between the final game of the previous season, which took place in October, and the third game of the playoffs today, as well as the collective bitterness that we all feel for not having made any progress. I believe that there is no reason for the club not to persist in its efforts next year.

The other game in the east will be a New York derby between NYCFC and Red Bulls, while the Western Conference semifinals will feature Los Angeles FC playing against Seattle Sounders and LA Galaxy hosting Minnesota United. LAFC was the sole team to advance to a third-match decider, and Mateusz Bogusz scored the winning goal against the Vancouver Whitecaps.
