Inter Miami has reached an agreement with Nu, a Brazilian financial services firm, granting the company naming rights to the soccer team’s upcoming stadium facility located near Miami International Airport.
The new venue, which will be called Nu Stadium and accommodate 26,700 spectators, is currently under construction with its inaugural game set for April 4.
Officials announced the partnership on Wednesday but did not disclose financial details of the multiyear contract.
Beginning in August, Nu’s branding will appear on Inter Miami’s uniforms, according to the team. The club’s jerseys have become some of the most popular worldwide, largely due to the massive international fanbase of star player Lionel Messi.
The digital banking company serves 131 million clients throughout Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia and is now moving into the American market. Nu previously established a sponsorship arrangement with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 racing team this year.
