Overview

  • Lionel Messi completed training with Inter Miami, but the club has not submitted its roster and will decide his availability closer to kickoff.
  • The semifinal is scheduled for Wednesday, August 27 at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, with any draw settled by a penalty shootout.
  • Head coach Javier Mascherano is serving a one-match suspension for offensive language, so assistant Javier Morales handled media duties.
  • All four semifinalists are MLS clubs, and officials are weighing format changes that could move future Leagues Cup matches to Mexico.
  • The match streams on Apple TV via MLS Season Pass, and the winner advances to the final and clinches a Concacaf Champions Cup berth.
