Messi lines up trip to Jamaica

Inter Miami had no trouble dispatching Sporting Kansas City in the first round of the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup. With first-half goals from Lionel Messi, Tadeo Allende, and Luis Suárez, the Herons comfortably sealed their place in the next round with a 4-1 aggregate victory (3-1 in the second leg).

Tuesday night’s win at Chase Stadium secured a spot in the round of 16 for the South Florida side, keeping alive their dream of becoming Concacaf champions. Their next opponent will be Jamaican club Cavalier, who entered the bracket directly in the second round as winners of the CONCACAF Caribbean Cup. The tournament rules granted them this privilege, ensuring their place at this stage.

When will Inter Miami face Cavalier in the CONCACAF Champions Cup?

The first leg is scheduled for March 6, though the exact kickoff time is yet to be confirmed. The full schedule will be finalized once all first-round matchups conclude. Inter Miami will host the opening leg at Chase Stadium before traveling to Kingston for the return match on Thursday, March 13.

Cavalier usually plays its home matches at Stadium East Field, but the presence of Inter Miami’s stars could prompt a move to Independence Park to accommodate higher ticket demand.

Who could Inter Miami face in the quarter-finals?

Should Inter Miami advance past Cavalier, they could find themselves up against Columbus Crew, one of their biggest MLS rivals. However, before that, the Ohio-based club must first get past the winner of the tie between Los Angeles FC and Colorado Rapids — a matchup that promises to be fiercely contested.
