The 'Herons' visit Sporting Kansas City in the first stage of the first round of the Champions Cup and the weather that waits them will be extreme.
After a long break of competitive game after an early exit of the 2024 MLS Cup -Play -offs, a long -term holiday period and a productive preseason in both the United States and Latin -America, Inter Miami and Lionel Messi will return to tournament action on Tuesday on Tuesday , 18 February, in the Concacaf Champions Cup 2025.
The first test of the Herons in the Premier Club competition of the region will take them far from Fort Lauderdale, while the side of Javier Mascherano travels to Children's Mercy Park to go on Sporting Kansas City in the first stage of their opening round matchup. One of the most striking aspects of this meeting will be the harsh weather conditions that Miami has to face – something they rarely experience with.
According to the last prediction, it is expected that the temperatures will fall to 6 ° F (-14 ° C), with a wind cooling the risk of being suspended due to the extremity of the expected weather.
Moreover, there is a 75% chance on snowfall, making it a theater for a cheeky cold challenge for Messi, Luis Suárez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. The fight starts before the ball is even kicked because Inter Miami will have to plan these extreme circumstances carefully.
As a club in South Florida, Inter Miami is pretty wrong in such a bitter weather. However, if they hope to take a favorable result for the second stage at the Chase Stadium, they must approach this opening configuration with full focus and quickly adapt to the freezing conditions in Kansas City.
Inter Miami closes the preseason unbeaten
Prior to the new campaign, Inter Miami played a series of friendly matches and ended unbeaten with three draw and two wins. Their preview matchups include a 2-2 draw against Club América in Las Vegas, a 0-0 stalemate with Universitario Deportes in Lima, a 3-1 victory over Sporting San Miguelito in Panama City, a 5-0 routing CD Olimpia in San Pedro Sula and a 2-2 draw against Orlando City in Tampa.
It is worth noting that none of these matches were played in remote circumstances close to what is expected in Kansas City. In addition to making their official season debut, the herons must also overcome an off-the-pack challenge in the form of freezing temperatures, because they try to secure a place in the 16 16 Concacaf Champions Cup.
