The Herons formed part of the ongoing MLS expansion efforts when making their competitive bow in March 2020. They have only been competing on that stage for a little over four years, but have come a long way in a short space of time – with Manchester United and England legend Beckham forming part of their ownership group.

It was always going to take a bit of time for the Florida-based franchise to find their feet, but they now have iconic figures such as Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba on the books. A first piece of silverware was secured in 2023 when lifting the inaugural Leagues Cup.
WHAT BECKHAM SAID
The record books continue to be rewritten at Chase Stadium, with American goalkeeper Callender and Finnish midfielder Taylor becoming the first Inter Miami centurions. Beckham has paid homage to those achievements by posting on Instagram: “A very special night as we celebrate our first centurions. Congratulations Robert Taylor and Drake Callender.”

Said duo reached a notable landmark for Inter Miami in the Herons’ 3-1 victory over Toronto FC. That win took Tata Martino’s side back to the top of the MLS Eastern Conference, with Argentine superstar Messi watching on from the stands as he works his way back from an unfortunate ankle injury.
