Inter Miami
Inter Miami will bid farewell to 2023 in style at DRV PNK Stadium on Friday, when the first ever ‘Noche d’Or’ will take place in honour of star man Lionel Messi. David Beckham’s side will face New York City FC in a friendly, which will effectively be a tribute match for the Argentina captain, who won his eighth Ballon d’Or at the end of October.
Ahead of kickoff, Messi will take to the field on a golden carpet before showing his his new shiny award off to 18,000 fans, who will also get to hear from the man-of-the-moment himself. Following the game, Inter Miami will host a BRESH party (the most popular Latin American party worldwide) at XBTO NW Club.
