Fans of Lionel Messi are in for a treat this February 2024 when the Inter Miami FC team bring their game to Hong Kong on their first international tour.
David Beckham is bringing his Inter Miami FC to play at the Hong Kong Stadium in a highly anticipated match that has been scheduled for Feb. 4. Inter Miami FC is looking to cultivate an international audience, and much of the tickets to their open training sessions have been reserved for community outreach.
It seems the MLS team is taking a page from the NBA’s international outreach to cultivates fans worldwide, with great success.
Lionel Messi was last in Hong Kong in 2014 when the Argentinian team played against the Hong Kong’s national team, with Lionel Messi’s team won 7-0.
The event is expected to draw an estimated 80,000 people, of which “50% of the people will be from Hong Kong, 30% from mainland China and the remaining from the rest of Asia.” And tickets won’t be cheap even by American standards, with prices ranging from between $112 to $624, and will go on sale on December 15.
I wonder how many of Lionel Messi’s Pink jerseys they’ll sell at the event?
