He said, “Hong Kong is a beautiful city with a great sports scene. Throughout my career, I have spent a lot of time in Asia – I am so pleased to have the opportunity to bring Inter Miami to play our first international tour match in this fantastic city.”
Inter Miami is set to take on the Hong Kong Team in early 2024. The match will be hosted at the 40,000-capacity Hong Kong Stadium. Chief Business Officer Xavier Asensi said, ” spent several years living and working in Hong Kong, so I am familiar with the incredible culture and the deep passion for fútbol. We are looking forward to bringing Inter Miami to play in front of these special fans who otherwise may not have been able to see us in person.” Tickets for the match held on Sunday, February 4 will go on sale starting on December 15 exclusively on Klook and will range between $880 HKD to $4,880 HKD.
