CF Montréal is due to face Inter Miami and their Argentinian soccer star at home in the spring.

With the release of the CF Montréal schedule today comes the long-awaited news that the team will face Inter Miami — and, for the first time in this city, their star player, Argentinian soccer phenomenon Lionel Messi — on Saturday, May 11.

The 2022 World Cup winner joined Inter Miami in July of this year, winning 50% of their season’s games with him, compared with 21.43% prior to his arrival.
