Inter Miami launched its Academy with 160 local youth players who became the Club's first-ever signed players before the First Team kicked a ball on the field. The Club continues to dedicate resources and refine its programs and is on the way to becoming a global leader in youth development, creating a healthy pipeline of opportunities for players like Axel and Fernando in South Florida and from all around the world.
