Inter Miami

Inter Miami are a young but ambitious MLS franchise that have had a brief yet eventful history. The club was officially announced in 2018, spearheaded by David Beckham and a group of investors. In 2020, they kicked off their MLS journey, playing their first game in March of that year.

The team signed notable players like Gonzalo Higuaín and Rodolfo Pizarro, who scored the first goal in club history. Their first victory came in August 2020, and they steadily built their presence in the league.

Despite making significant strides, the Miami club are yet to reach the MLS playoffs in their brief history. However, they secured their first major trophy in 2023, winning the inaugural Leagues Cup, defeating Nashville SC in a dramatic penalty shootout. 

The club continues to evolve, as they have shown their ambition with major signings in recent years. Led by former Bracelona coach, Gerardo Martino, the Miami club are aiming for their first ever playoffs.

Inter Miami Players and Their Countries

The MLS has a unique system for managing foreign players, which is a bit different from a strict cap.  Unlike some leagues, MLS teams do not have a fixed number of slots for international players, as a club can sign as many foreign players as they want.

However, there's an average limit of eight foreign players per team across the entire league. This means some teams can have more than eight, while others might have fewer, as long as the overall average stays within the limit.

Canadian MLS teams are, however, exempt from the average limit and can have up to three additional foreign players who have been granted permanent resident status in Canada.

Despite this law, the USA accounts for the most nationalities among Inter Miami players, which is 13. The second-most represented country in the team is Argentina, with seven players, including the legendary Messi.

Spain and Paraguay have two representatives each. Ukraine, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, Finland, Uruguay, Italy, Brazil, Haiti, and Honduras all have one representative each on the Inter Miami side.
