Inter Miami's 2024 pre-season saw them travel to Central America, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong and Japan before they concluded matters back in Florida.
The game preparations got underway on January 19 with a road game against El Salvador. New signing Luis Suarez featured alongside his former Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi, but the game finished 0-0.
A 1-0 defeat to MLS franchise FC Dallas followed before Messi and Co. headed to Saudi Arabia for a couple of crunch showdowns against Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr. Unfortunately for Miami fans, there was no showdown with Cristiano Ronaldo, with the Portugal star unavailable due to injury. The Saudi sojourn was a disappoining one, with a 4-3 loss to Al-Hilal followed by a 6-0 thrashing by Al-Nassr.
Inter Miami then went to Hong Kong for a game against a Hong Kong national selection, winning 4-1 (without the injured Messi). After that, Miami's disappointing results continued as they lost 4-3 on penalties to Vissel Kobe after playing out a 0-0 draw.
Finally, pre-season preparations were wrapped up at home, with Messi's boyhood club, Argentina's Newell's Old Boys, coming to town. The game finished 1-1.
