<p>Contrary to what a promoter said earlier on Tuesday, Inter Miami says it has not committed to play in Saudi Arabia in February of 2019. The MLS team will not play two Saudi teams.</p>
<p>The US team denied that any pre-season tour arrangements had been approved, hours after it was announced that Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami and Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr will play, along with another match against Al-Hilal in the Riyadh Season Cup in February.<img decoding=”async” class=”alignnone wp-image-285569″ src=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/theindiaprint.com-violation-of-model-code-of-conduct-delhi-bjp-chief-receives-ec-notice-for-kejriwal.png” alt=”theindiaprint.com violation of model code of conduct delhi bjp chief receives ec notice for kejriwal” width=”1544″ height=”868″ title=”Inter Miami claims that no agreement has been made to play in Saudi Arabia 6″ srcset=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/theindiaprint.com-violation-of-model-code-of-conduct-delhi-bjp-chief-receives-ec-notice-for-kejriwal.png 690w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/theindiaprint.com-violation-of-model-code-of-conduct-delhi-bjp-chief-receives-ec-notice-for-kejriwal-390×220.png 390w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/theindiaprint.com-violation-of-model-code-of-conduct-delhi-bjp-chief-receives-ec-notice-for-kejriwal-150×84.png 150w” sizes=”(max-width: 1544px) 100vw, 1544px” /></p>
<p>An announcement was made earlier today confirming Inter Miami CF’s participation in the Riyadh Season Cup. According to the Inter Miami statement, this is untrue.</p>
<p>Statements attributed to club owner Jorge Mas were included in the release. Mas has not addressed the preseason trip in any way, either in public or personally.</p>
<p>Eight times Inter Miami is now a sought-after team for international competitions thanks to Ballon d’Or winner Messi, who joined the US team in July and ignited a championship run in the Leagues Cup against US and Mexican teams.</p>
<p>Inter Miami said earlier this month that “unforeseen circumstances in China” had forced the cancellation of a scheduled trip to play matches in China.</p>
<p>According to Inter Miami’s statement, the most recent instance was a Messi vs. Ronaldo rematch that seemed too good to be true.</p>
<p>“Inter Miami has strived to be a worldwide brand since its founding. In order to do this, we have been in talks to decide on our pre-season program for 2024,” the statement said.</p>
<p>“We’re excited to present our players on Inter Miami’s inaugural global tour, which will be revealed in the upcoming weeks.”</p>
<p>Last year, Messi, 36, guided Argentina to the World Cup victory.</p>
<p>After moving to Al Nassr in January of last year, Ronaldo played in Saudi Arabia for the first time with a Riyadh All-Star XI that was defeated 5–4 by a Paris Saint-Germain team that included Messi, Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, and Sergio Ramos.</p>
