This means that the two superstars Ronaldo (Al Nassr) and Messi (Inter Miami) will have the opportunity to face each other, promising to bring fans a thrilling and dramatic match.
Sharing about this announcement, Mr. Xavier Asensi – CEO of Inter Miami – said: “This is a great opportunity to create long-term relationships with passionate fans.
We are excited to connect with new fans in Saudi Arabia. Hope everyone around the world will watch and enjoy this dream match.”
Inter Miami will face Al Hilal at Kingdom Arena on January 29, 2024. However, the possibility of Neymar (Al Hilal) facing Messi in this match is almost unlikely. The reason is because Neymar just had knee surgery in October, the Brazilian press said that it will take him until mid-2024 to fully recover.
Therefore, the most anticipated match will be Inter Miami meeting Al Nassr on February 1, 2024. The match will also take place at Kingdom Arena.
“These matches will be an important test for Inter Miami before entering the new MLS season. We are delighted that Inter Miami will have the opportunity to face high quality teams such as Al Hilal and Al Nassr”, said Chris Henderson, sports director of Miami Club.

In which Messi has won 16 times, Ronaldo has 10 times and both have drawn 9 times. In these matches, Messi scored 21 goals and contributed 12 assists, and Ronaldo scored 20 goals and contributed 1 assist.
