Inter Miami CF Faces Atlas FC in High-Stakes Leagues Cup Clash at Chase Stadium

On July 30, 2025, Inter Miami CF hosted Mexican side Atlas FC in a pivotal Leagues Cup 2025 Group Stage match at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, USA. The match began at 7:30 p.m. ET and drew considerable attention as Atlas FC topped the group standings while Inter Miami ranked eighth heading into the fixture.

This encounter marked the start of Inter Miami's Leagues Cup campaign, providing an important test against the current first-place holders from Liga MX. The Leagues Cup is a dynamic annual tournament featuring top clubs from MLS and Liga MX competing for regional supremacy.

Inter Miami arrived at the match in solid form, having recently posted four wins, one loss, and a draw in their last six MLS games following their participation in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. This momentum was further bolstered by the availability of new Argentine signing Rodrigo De Paul, who was cleared to make his Inter Miami debut. Acquired on loan from Atlético Madrid, De Paul, nicknamed 'El Motorcito' for his relentless work rate, links up with compatriot and captain Lionel Messi in the midfield. This pairing is expected to enhance Miami’s creative and attacking potential significantly.

The match drew strong attention with broadcast coverage spanning over 100 countries via the Apple TV app and regional linear broadcasts on TelevisaUnivision, TV Azteca, FOX Sports, TSN, and RDS.

Fans attending the game enjoyed convenient transportation options, including Brightline’s GOOOL Getter trains providing direct shuttles from Fort Lauderdale Station to Chase Stadium, alongside parking facilities for the event. Supporters were encouraged to purchase match tickets and parking passes in advance to ensure smooth entry and a festive atmosphere.

This Leagues Cup fixture is crucial for Inter Miami’s hopes of advancing past the Group Stage, as they face subsequent matches against other Liga MX opponents Club Necaxa and Pumas UNAM. Success in this tournament could further solidify Inter Miami’s rising profile following their Leagues Cup 2023 victory, which was contemporaneous with the arrivals of Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba.
