Inter Miami get underway in the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup when they visit the Children's Mercy Park to face Sporting Kansas City on Tuesday. Javier Mascherano’s men head into the game on a run of two wins from their two games against the hosts and will be looking to secure a first-leg advantage.
Three days on from their 6-0 humiliation against Minnesota United, Sporting Kansas City were denied a morale-boosting result ahead of the start of the 2025 competitive calendar year as they played out a goalless draw with Las Vegas Lights on February 12.
With that result, Peter Joseph Vermes’ side failed to win their six MLS pre-season matches, losing four and claiming two draws while conceding 12 and scoring just twice across the five games.
