MLS 2024 Season: What To Look Out For, Including Lionel Messi & Luis Suarez At Inter Miami1 min read
The 29th season of Major League Soccer is set to be one of the most significant in the history of the North American league.
It will be the first of three momentous years when the attention of football fans from around the world will be focused on the continent.
The region will host high-profile international tournaments – the 2024 Copa America, 2025 Club World Cup and 2026 World Cup – and boasts the sport’s preeminent player, Lionel Messi, as well as other familiar names.
MLS and US soccer as a whole will be looking to capitalise.
MLS – Messi League Soccer
While 2023 was all about the fanfare of his arrival, 2024 will be the first full season of Messi in MLS.
Given he played just a handful of league games after moving to the David Beckham-owned franchise Inter Miami midway through last year, this feels very much like a debut MLS season for the Argentine magician.
He’ll be joined at Miami this year by former Barcelona team-mate Luis Suarez, as well as Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, who arrived with Messi last July.
Suarez thinks Inter Miami should be aiming to win everything. The ex-Liverpool striker posed the question during the off-season: “Why wouldn’t we dream of winning all four titles this year?”
In reality, there are five titles on offer and plenty of competition for each.
