The Club World Cup will take Inter Miami from start-up to the global stage. Just five years after its MLS debut, the team co-owned by David Beckham and starring Lionel Messi will have the eyes of the world on it as it kicks off soccer's newest competition with the chance to be crowned world champion.

Lionel Messi twice came close to scoring the winning goal in an lively opening to FIFA’s newly expanded Club World Cup as Al Ahly and Inter Miami delivered a 0-0 draw that was mixed in quality but full of action and ultimately watched by a bumper crowd at the Hard Rock Stadium.
