Messi has returned to Inter Miami and has begun training on January 8 in preparation for the new 2024 season. This year promises to be extremely busy and difficult for Messi, both at the club and with Argentina.

Before the 2024 season, Inter Miami’s competition program will include up to seven matches, including three visits to Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, and Japan. Messi and Inter Miami will compete in four official tournaments this season, including three local tournaments (MLS, Leagues Cup, and US Open Cup) and the CONCACAF Champions League. This well-known player also plays for Argentina, which has two significant goals: qualifying for the World Cup in South America in 2026 and defending the Copa America title.

“Messi took a longer vacation than usual after Argentina’s 1-0 victory over Brazil on November 21, 2023.” Throughout his career, he maintained his peak physical strength and condition. It was time for him to relax with his family. This well-known player is well aware that the 2024 season will be extremely tough. As a result, he must be in peak physical condition to meet the club’s and team’s constant competition schedule,” the Marca newspaper (Spain) reported.

“Messi will have a routine medical exam before beginning training.” On January 19, he is eligible to participate in a friendly against El Salvador. Then, on January 22, there will be a match versus FC Dallas. This great player and Inter Miami then traveled to Saudi Arabia to compete in the Riyadh Cup, which included a February 1 encounter against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr Club. Messi also got to see his boyhood team, Newell’s Old Boys, on February 15 at DRV PNK’s home stadium, according to Marca.

Messi and Inter Miami began the new season at the end of February, with the first match in the MLS tournament against Real Salt Lake on February 21. Especially this season, Messi and Inter Miami have the possibility to fight for the CONCACAF Champions League trophy, beginning with a round of 16 match against the winner of the Dominican Republic’s Nashville Club and Moca squad.

The Leagues Cup event, in which Messi won his first championship since moving to the United States, will begin on July 26. Similarly, the CONCACAF Champions League final was held on June 2. These cup tournaments take place before and after the 2024 Copa America (from June 20 to July 14), thus meeting the playing conditions for both the club and the Argentine team will be a significant challenge for Messi.
