Looking ahead to the upcoming FIFA window, three Inter Miami CF players were called up to represent their national teams during the international break. The players will take part in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers and CONCACAF Nations League.

Take a closer look at the players called to action and their upcoming fixtures on the world stage from September 2-10.

Luis Suárez - Uruguay

Forward Luis Suárez continues to demonstrate his value and leadership, earning yet another call-up with the Uruguayan national team.

The match will be a historic and memorable occasion for both Suárez and all of Uruguay, as El Pistolero will be making his final appearance for the national team after announcing his retirement from international duty this week.

Suárez will bow out as one of the most influential players in Uruguay history, being the all-time scoring leader with 69 goals in 142 appearances to date, being a key player as the team won the 2011 Copa América title and making four FIFA World Cup appearances in the process.

He will join his national squad for its upcoming CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers, where the team will first face off against Suárez's Uruguay in Montevideo on Friday, Sept. 6, at 7:30 p.m. ET. La Albirroja will play its second game of the international break at home, hosting Brazil on Tuesday, Sept. 10, at 8:30 p.m. ET.
