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".
