The Chief of Strategy Development of the Aslam Sports Group, who is also the president of the business operations staff, “This is a unique moment with Messi where we can fill the building and make sure that the first experience of northeastern Ohio is in a packed home.”
This will be the 11th match in the MLS, which Messi played at an NFL Stadium after reaching Miami in 2023 in 2023. This is the second time that a club has shifted it to a major facility. Previous matches – nine regular season and one playoffs – average 61,507 fans.

MLS Executive Vice President Chemilo Dara said, “For Inter -Miami, traveling around Major League Soccer and being able to take this game to major stadiums and sell them to us talk about their major league -to -play and the impact on the game, but I don’t even realize that many people still realize that.”

Zawadzki said, “To me, that means a lot.” “This is the place in which I have increased to support the bronze and other teams in Cleveland. So, being there, nearby family and friends, obviously have a huge part for me. So I’m really looking forward to the game.”
