In its 107th edition, the U.S. Open Cup has crowned a champion annually since 1914 - with the exception of 2020 & 21 due to COVID-19. The history-filled tournament is conducted on a single-game, knockout basis and open to all professional and amateur teams affiliated with U.S. Soccer. The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is the oldest ongoing national soccer competition in the United States and the world's third-longest continuously-run national cup tournament.
"I am pretty sure I can speak for the entire club and say we are excited for the opportunity to host Inter Miami at FIU Stadium," said Head Coach Anthony Pulis. "We know how special the U.S. Open Cup is for Miami FC fans given the success in the past and we're looking forward to representing them on the pitch. It'll be a great match for all the Miami community to come out and enjoy."
The Miami Football Club is Miami's longest-tenured professional soccer club, owned by Silva International Investments' owner Riccardo Silva. Ahead of the 2020 season, the club joined the United Soccer League's The Championship, one of the most successful professional soccer leagues in the world, reaching a population of more than 84 million and fueling the growth of the game across North America.
Prior to joining the USL, Miami FC played in the North American Soccer League (NASL) during its first two years and achieved a historic season in 2017, winning the Spring Season and Fall Season Championships, along with breaking several modern day NASL team and individual records. In 2018, the club began to play in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) and dominated its competition on its way to three trophies, including the NPSL National Championship. Similar success followed in 2019, defending the NPSL National Championship before joining the inaugural NISA Showcase where they were crowned East Coast Champions in November 2019.
