Inter Miami will face Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia on February 1
The Major League Soccer franchise announced on Monday that Lionel Messi's Inter Miami would play two games in Saudi Arabia early in the upcoming season, one of which will be against Ronaldo and his team Al-Nassr, a familiar opponent.
The team's first foreign trip includes visits in El Salvador and Hong Kong in addition to the three-team round-robin Riyadh Season Cup.
Miami's next games are scheduled to play Al-Hilal at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh on January 29 and Al-Nassr at the same location on February 1.
Xavier Asensi, the chief commercial officer of Inter Miami, stated in a news release, "This is another major opportunity to create lasting relationships with passionate fans."
"We are excited to connect with new supporters in Saudi Arabia, and also hope people all over the world will be tuning in to see a pair of dream matches like these."
Over the course of their careers, Messi and Ronaldo have squared off more than thirty times. Between them, they have won thirteen Ballon d'Or honours; Messi leads that competition eight to five.
After leaving Paris Saint-Germain, Messi had an opportunity to play in the Saudi league, but he decided to sign with Miami instead, where he helped the team win the Leagues Cup and skyrocketed ticket prices.
