Inter Miami have announced construction has started on the Miami Freedom Park project, which will include a new state-of-the-art stadium where Lionel Messi and company will play.

David Beckham's franchise were set up in 2018 in line with the terms of his LA Galaxy contract signed in 2007 and started competing in the MLS Eastern Conference in 2020.

Home games have been played at the DRV PNK Stadium, which houses 21,000 fans in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

But after bringing in three of the best players in football history in Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, the Herons have a brand new stadium on the horizon.

Inter confirmed that work has began on a monumental 131-acre development featuring a 25,000 stadium, 58-acre public park and "entertainment district".

Crew and equipment is now on site at the location of the former Melreese Country Club and it's hoped that all work will be concluded by 2025.
