"I came to America and MLS twenty years ago with a dream to win championships, to help grow the game of soccer that I love so much, and one day, to build a club of my own. We had no name. We had no fans. We had no stadium. Today I stand in our new home."
"After six years of playing in another city, including lifting a maiden MLS Cup in Fort Lauderdale last December, Inter Miami finally embodied the name on the badge. The sold out crowd expressed a mixture of joy, relief, and disbelief the moment had finally arrived."

The inaugural game at Nu Stadium ended in a 2-2 draw between Inter Miami and Austin FC, marking a significant milestone for co-owner David Beckham. After a 13-year journey to establish the team, Beckham celebrated the opening of the world-class arena. He expressed pride in building a club and bringing superstars like Lionel Messi to Miami. The sold-out crowd experienced joy and disbelief as Messi and Luis Suarez scored equalizing goals. The stadium's impressive design made it a remarkable venue for soccer.
