The Inter Miami āChampions Tourā continues its progress through Latin America as they face Atletico Nacional at the Estadio Atanasio Girardot in Medellin. This marks the second preseason friendly scheduled for the Herons during their international circuit.
The side led by Lionel Messi are searching for their first victory of 2026 after Alianza Lima defeated Inter Miami 3-0 in their tour opener in Peru. After starting the year on the wrong foot, Inter Miami are eager to secure a win in their second outing to move back into the win column.
Atletico Nacional, who have already opened their Colombian league campaign with a dominant 4-0 victory, see this as a prime opportunity to test themselves against high-caliber opposition. This fixture will allow manager Diego Arias to fine-tune his tactics as they prepare for the 2026 Copa Libertadores.
