Thiago Messi joined Inter Miami’s youth program in the summer of 2023, the same month that his father, Leo, signed a Major League Soccer deal. Since then, he has taken part in further competitions.

You’ve heard of Messi, even if you’re not a football (or soccer, as it’s known in the US) fan, and many people think it’s an honor to play against his son.

But what’s even more unusual is getting a shirt with Messi’s iconic number 10.

Because so many people desire the jerseys, Thiago now has an entire rucksack full of them to trade with other players after the game. This way, no one feels left out!
