In a moment that sent shockwaves through the sports world, global soccer icon Lionel Messi unveiled Inter Miami’s mesmerizing 2025 kit in a high-octane Super Bowl commercial that left fans buzzing. The Argentine superstar, fresh off his historic World Cup triumph, took center stage to debut the club’s new “Euforia” jersey in a dazzling display of skill and star power.
Messi’s Super Bowl Spectacular
The 30-second ad, which aired during the Philadelphia Eagles’ resounding 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, featured the legendary forward donning the eye-catching two-toned pink jersey while effortlessly juggling an American football. In a moment that showcased his unparalleled precision, Messi concluded the spot by booting the pigskin straight through the uprights, accompanied by the tantalizing tagline: “When football ends, Fútbol begins.”
The commercial served as a thrilling teaser for Inter Miami’s hotly anticipated season opener against New York City FC on February 22 at Chase Stadium, where Messi is expected to make his long-awaited debut in front of a sold-out crowd. The unveiling of the “Euforia” kit, with its bold pink hues and sleek black accents, has only heightened the palpable excitement surrounding the club’s new era.
A Kit Fit for a King
The Adidas-designed jersey, which features the inspiring motto “Freedom to dream” emblazoned on the back of the neck, had already been making waves on social media prior to its official debut. Argentina’s President Javier Milei stirred up buzz when he posted a video of himself being presented with the kit by Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Mas.
The “Euforia” jersey will be paired with the club’s sleek black away kit, dubbed “Fortitude,” as Inter Miami embarks on a jam-packed 2025 season that will see them compete in four different competitions: the Concacaf Champions Cup, Leagues Cup, MLS, and the prestigious Club World Cup. The team’s new threads will be on full display until 2026, when they are set to move into their state-of-the-art stadium, Miami Freedom Park.
Messi’s Miami Masterplan
As the soccer world eagerly awaits Messi’s first foray into MLS, speculation is rife about the 37-year-old’s future beyond the 2025 season. While his initial contract with Inter Miami is set to expire at the end of the campaign, co-owner Mas remains confident that the Argentine maestro will extend his stay through 2026.
“We fully expect Lionel to be a part of Inter Miami for years to come. His impact, both on and off the pitch, will be transformative for our club and the sport in this country.”
– Jorge Mas
Should Messi choose to hang up his boots following his Inter Miami adventure, fans have playfully suggested that his next stop could be as a kicker for the Miami Dolphins, given his apparent prowess with the pigskin. While that may be little more than a pipe dream, one thing is certain: the soccer world will be watching with bated breath as one of the greatest players of all time embarks on the next chapter of his illustrious career.
As Inter Miami gears up for a season unlike any other, the club’s new kit serves as a powerful symbol of the excitement and possibilities that lie ahead. With Messi leading the charge, clad in the captivating “Euforia” jersey, the stage is set for a new era of soccer in the Magic City – one that promises to be every bit as thrilling as the Argentine icon’s Super Bowl debut.
