Lionel Messi's Inter Miami are taking on Al-Hilal today in Riyadh Season Cup in Saudi Arabia. Miami, the Major League Soccer (MLS) club has embarked on the worldwide preseason tour. After playing Al-Hilal, they will take on Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr.
The soccer match between Argentine legend Messi's Inter Miami and Saudi side Al-Hilal will start at 1 pm (ET) on Monday, January 29. The live streaming of Messi's match will be available on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV.
Inter Miami already played two exhibitions this year — one in El Salvador, one at Dallas' Cotton Bowl — and has matches in Hong Kong and Japan still to come after the Saudi swing is complete. It's basically an around-the-world, big-crowd, big-money, bright-spotlight batch of preseason games for Inter Miami, which instantly became a global brand when Messi announced last summer that he was joining the Major League Soccer club.
Inter Miami is in Saudi Arabia because of Messi, plain and simple. There is no bigger name in the game than the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner and captain of reigning World Cup champion Argentina, and Messi — who had an offer to play in Saudi Arabia, which he turned down to join MLS and come to Inter Miami — is a Saudi ambassador to help promote tourism.
