The great sporting moment that this Inter Miami is going through is directly proportional to the success it is also achieving as a project and business, to the three finals and the two titles (which could be three in a few weeks), now the countdown is added to the jewel of the crown of the project, their majestic new stadium that will change the city forever and will cost them 350 million dollars.
Since David Beckham and the Mas brothers began taking the first steps of the project, they had two main concerns, which they considered to be key for the club to grow quickly and successfully. The first thing was to have the attraction to incorporate great world-class players, and with Leo Messi at the helm, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Luis Suárez arrived.
The second thing was the stadium, the club’s headquarters, a challenge probably even more complex than signing Messi, because the city of Miami does not stand out for the opportunities to find land that would serve what they had in mind, and they also found many complications. down the long road of closing a location.
They achieved it, and if Messi’s arrival changed the club’s destiny forever, the new stadium could be considered a move at that height or even greater in perspective. The Argentine footballer has put Inter on the football map, turning the institution’s offices into a gateway for big brands interested in linking up with the heron club, such as Royal Caribean, Chase, VISA…

The new ‘Freedom Park’ that makes up the stadium and its enclosure, however, will forever change the city of Miami. Located less than a kilometer from the international airport, its impact on the county and the metropolis will be total, as confirmed by Xavier Asensi, president of operations: “It will be the first and last thing that people see when they leave or arrive at Miami,” he tells EFE.
Inter Miami has signed a thirty-year lease with the city for the occupation and exploitation of these public lands, although the agreement includes two extension options up to a maximum of 99 years.
Once the stadium opens in 2026, the club will pay $588,079 a year in rent, plus almost $3 million for commercial development in the area. In total just over three and a half million annually.

On the one hand there is the qualitative leap in the sports venue, with a state-of-the-art, stable stadium, which will also go from the 21,550 seats of the current Chase Stadium to the 26,700 spectators that will be able to gather in the new Freedom Park.
On the other hand, there is everything that will be around the new home of Inter, the project has 131 hectares, 58 of them will be the largest public park in the city, which will be added to the green areas of Miami, with sports fields , shops, entertainment venues, attractions, restaurants, hotels and office spaces.
The location is perfect, in the heart of the city, well connected to different highways and just seven kilometers from downtown and the financial area.
“Miami Freedom Park is the culmination of years of hard work and the desire to carry out a vision, creating a legacy that lasts for the fans, the Miami community and South Florida. I am very happy to see that that dream is coming true,” commented a very smiling David Beckham, aware of what it cost, administratively, to acquire those lands that were previously the Melreese golf club.
After all the administrative battles and trying several different locations, everyone is now supportive of the project. Since Ron DeSantis’ Florida government, $8 million has been approved.
There is clear interest from public institutions since the new facility will create 15,000 new direct and indirect jobs, and will generate more than 40 million in revenue from state and local taxes. Cornerstone of the project from 2026
For the growth of the club it is a key step, according to Asensi, it is “the most exciting project in the sports industry, we are talking about the stadium, an entire district, the largest open park in the city of Miami.”
The stadium will host Inter’s matches from the beginning of 2026, once the first phase of construction is completed, which will continue during the first months of the year until the entire project is completed for the FIFA World Cup.
Freedom Park will not host the big football event, but the World Cup does present itself as an ideal showcase for Inter to make its new jewel known to the entire planet, when fans and journalists from all over the world flock to the south. of Florida and can visit it.
