Inter Miami have released a statement denying reports of their upcoming participation in the Riyadh Season Cup.
Dubbed ‘The Last Dance,’ initial news claimed Lionel Messi’s club would travel to Saudi Arabia in February 2024 for a tournament against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr and Al Hilal.
However, that has now been deemed inaccurate by the MLS side late on Tuesday.
“Earlier today, an announcement was issued stating that Inter Miami CF is scheduled to play in the Riyadh Season Cup. This is inaccurate,” read the statement.
“The release included statements attributed to team owner Jorge Mas. Mas has made no comments, publicly or privately, in relation to the preseason tour.
“Since day one, Inter Miami CF has set out to be a global brand. To this end, we have been in conversations to determine our 2024 preseason schedule.
“We look forward to showing our players on Inter Miami CF’s first international tour which will be announced in the coming weeks.”
Fans will have to wait for the potential next meeting between the two generational stars.
