Soccer Legend Lionel Messi Coming To Charlotte This Saturday

12014

Arguably the greatest soccer player of all time has just confirmed he will be coming to Charlotte with Inter Miami this weekend to take on Charlotte FC at Bank of America Stadium.

“I will train, I will play our upcoming match [against Charlotte FC] and I will try to get here [to the national team] in the best possible way for November,” Messi told ESPN yesterday after playing in the World Cup qualifier for Argentina. “After that, I will enjoy the holidays in Argentina. It’s the first time that I am going to have more days off in December, with the holidays, with peace of mind, with my people. In January, I will return again to do preseason. Start from scratch and prepare as best as possible as always.”

While Messi has had some injuries and missed some games this season, he was in peak performance during yesterday’s 2-0 win against Peru, giving even more reason to believe he will be taking the field at the Bank of America Stadium this coming Saturday.

Tickets for Miami’s game against Charlotte FC at Bank of America Stadium are now ranging in price from $41 to over $7,000 per ticket.

If Charlotte FC beats Miami this week, our team will make its first-ever entrance into the MLS playoffs.
