Lionel Messi'S Inter Miami Set To Visit White House Ceremony

In a recent development, Inter Miami CF is set to visit the White House in March 2026 to celebrate their 2025 MLS Cup victory, with Lionel Messi expected to attend. According to the Miami Herald, an unnamed source from Inter Miami stated that 'everyone' on the team will participate in the ceremony with President Donald Trump, scheduled just two days before their match against DC United on March 7. This visit marks a significant moment for the club and highlights the growing intersection of sports and politics, particularly as Trump has shown increasing interest in soccer, having previously met with FIFA president Gianni Infantino and hosted Cristiano Ronaldo at the White House. Messi, who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from former President Joe Biden in January 2025, did not attend that ceremony, making this upcoming visit particularly noteworthy.
