WHAT HAPPENED? The statement from superstar Lionel Messi’s club reads: “Tour organizer NSN has informed Inter Miami of the cancellation of the China tour due to unforeseen circumstances in China. Inter Miami’s goal remains to expand its global reach by performing in front of incredible fans all over the world.”
WHAT IS THE BACKGROUND? After missing the playoffs in the MLS, Miami’s season is already over. The club wanted to use the time for a marketing trip to China including two friendly matches. These should take place on November 5th and 8th against Qingdao Hainiu and Chengdu Rongcheng.
The Argentine journalist Gaston Edul von TyC Sports reported at the beginning of the week that the two test matches would not take place due to “bureaucratic and economic problems”.
