Mastercard becomes new Inter Miami sponsor

 The leading payment services company will step in as an "official partner" of the MLS franchise and the new Nu Stadium.

It will offer fan experiences at the brand-new stadium in tandem with naming sponsor Nubank (a digital bank and Mastercard partner).

The brand will position itself as the exclusive payment services partner, featuring special cards for all transactions within the venue.

It will also roll out various activations alongside Lionel Messi, the star of Inter Miami and a global Mastercard ambassador since 2018.

With this move, Mastercard expands its footprint in global football, adding to its sponsorship portfolio which includes the CONMEBOL Libertadores, the UEFA Champions League, and its recent partnership with Boca Juniors launched in April.
