With Lionel Messi as the star to take the spotlight, Inter Miami and Al Ahly will be opening the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup at the Hard Rock Stadium.

Fans may come expecting goals, drama, and international rivalries, but they’ll also witness something far more sentimental: the last dance of players who helped define the modern game.

With 32 of the globe’s most storied clubs vying for supremacy, anticipation is surging. Among them are teams stacked with superstars—Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, and Erling Haaland will all feature—but none of their clubs has emerged as the clear favorite.

With Inter Miami and Al Ahly set to open the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, fans are wondering if they'll see legend Lionel Messi play.

Just hours ahead of the opening game against Al Ahly, Inter Miami star Lionel Messi sets the record straight on the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

With the 2025- FIFA Club World Cup opening game against Al Ahly just around the corner, Lionel Messi will be missing three key Inter Miami teammates.

Critics have slammed FIFA for attempting to save face, but the governing body’s president Gianni Infantino sees it differently.

Mauricio Pochettino, who coached Messi at PSG, highlighted how Pulisic carries more than just on-field responsibility. Just days later, Pulisic gave his own take in a quieter, more subdued tone.

Lionel Messi has reigned at the top of world soccer for over two decades. With countless trophies, unmatched consistency, and a style of play that changed the game, he’s widely regarded as the greatest of all time. Now, he could be in line to receive a one-of-a-kind honor: the Super Ballon d’Or.

In what was supposed to be a marquee moment for global soccer, the 2025 Club World Cup opener featuring Lionel Messi's Inter Miami is facing an unexpected challenge: thousands of empty seats.

Just hours after Argentina’s 1-1 draw with Colombia, Lionel Messi boarded a flight back to Florida to rejoin Inter Miami. With only three days left before their FIFA Club World Cup debut against Al Ahly, the Argentine star didn’t want to miss a minute of preparation.

Paris Saint-Germain’s long-awaited Champions League breakthrough under Luis Enrique also re-writes the club’s past. CEO Nasser Al-Khelaifi publicly thanked all three members of the star-studded but ultimately underachieving Messi-Neymar-Mbappé trio, admitting their stint “was a very important period for PSG.”

After a confrontation sparked with a clash between Nicolas Otamendi and Richard Rios, Lionel Messi exploded against the referee of the game between Argentina and Colombia, Juan Gabriel Benitez.

With Argentina trailing 0-1 against Colombia, head coach Lionel Scaloni revealed the reason why he decided to sub star Lionel Messi off.

During Argentina’s 1-1 draw with Colombia, Lionel Messi and James Rodríguez had a heated exchange after Enzo Fernández was sent off.
