About Miami

Miami is the Gateway to the Americas — a bilingual, bicultural city where Latin America meets the US. Inter Miami's Messi-era fanbase has made Miami the hottest football city in the US. The vibrant nightlife, beach culture and Latin energy supercharge the World Cup atmosphere.

Stadium History

Hard Rock Stadium (originally Joe Robbie Stadium, 1987) has hosted Super Bowl LIV (2020), Copa América 2016, and the 1994 World Cup. Its 2016 renovation added a dramatic canopy shade structure. Miami hosted the 3rd-place play-off in 1994 — it does so again in 2026.
