The MLS Cup champion Inter Miami squad has been invited to the White House for a ceremonial visit this Thursday, according to multiple news outlets.
The Miami Herald has confirmed that the entire Herons roster, featuring global soccer icon Lionel Messi, will participate in the White House ceremony alongside President Donald Trump. The timing works perfectly for the team, as they’re scheduled to take on D.C. United in Washington just two days later on Saturday.
Inter Miami made franchise history by claiming their inaugural MLS Cup title with a decisive 3-1 win against Vancouver Whitecaps on December 6 at their home venue in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
This won’t be the first White House visit for Herons co-owner David Beckham, who previously celebrated at the presidential residence in 2012 when his Los Angeles Galaxy team was honored for their 2011 championship season.
