Dark/Light Mode (08/12/23)  Lionel Messi, one of the world's greatest football players and a record eight-time Ballon d'Or winner, is amongst the football legends who will be heading to Hong Kong next year when Inter Miami CF play a special exhibition match in the city, marking the team's first-ever international tour.

Inter Miami CF, co-owned by Jorge Mas, Jose Mas and Beckham, has captured global sporting headlines and attracted international attention since its founding including its biggest news in July this year when it signed legendary footballer Lionel Messi as the club’s captain. He subsequently led the team to the Leagues Cup title and the U.S. Open Cup final.

“We're very excited to be visiting Hong Kong and indeed Asia for the very first time,” said Jorge Mas, Inter Miami CF Managing Owner. “From the very beginning we set out to be a global club at Inter Miami. This is a wonderful opportunity to do just that; we hope to enthuse and inspire new Inter Miami fans in Hong Kong and across Asia who share our passion for football.”

Tickets for the match will go on sale on 15 December and can only be purchased through the official ticket partner, Klook. Ticket pricing will range from HK$880 up to HK$4880 depending on a wide range of seating options.

The Inter Miami CF team will also participate in an open training session on 3 February at Hong Kong Stadium with tickets for that ranging from HK$580 up to HK$780.

“Tatler XFEST is more than just a football game, it's a celebration of the best of Hong Kong through a combination of city-wide sporting, lifestyle and luxury experiences,” said Michel Lamunière, CEO & Chairman of Tatler Asia. “We envision Tatler XFEST as an annual extravaganza, set to become the city's most anticipated event of the year.”

Hong Kong, one of the most vibrant cities in the world, is home to one of most popular and fun celebrations of rugby sevens anywhere.
