Messi, other Inter Miami players to visit Trump at White House

Inter Miami will visit the White House in March to mark the club’s 2025 MLS Cup triumph, with Argentine superstar Lionel Messi expected to attend.

Inter Miami source disclosed that “everyone” on the team will attend the ceremony with United States President Donald Trump, two days before Inter plays DC United in the US capital on March 7.

Messi, 38, was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by former President Joe Biden in January 2025, the highest civilian honor in the United States, but did not attend the ceremony at the White House.

Trump’s affinity for soccer has grown in recent months, with multiple meetings with FIFA President Gianni Infantino and a high-profile visit by Cristiano Ronaldo to the White House.

Trump took part in the trophy presentation at the Club World Cup in the United Staes last year and was on stage at the draw for the 2026 World Cup, where Infantino took the opportunity to award the president the first FIFA peace prize.

Inter Miami wrapped up a slate of international friendlies on Thursday with a 2-1 victory over Independiente del Valle in Puerto Rico.

They fell to Los Angeles FC in their MLS season-opener last weekend and face Orlando City on Sunday.
