The managerial group led by Tata Martino is chasing a fresh shot at another final.
Inter Miami returns to high-stakes competition on Wednesday night in the United States (early Thursday morning in Spain), as the newly crowned Leagues Cup champions travel to face FC Cincinnati in a US Open Cup semifinal clash. The other semifinal, scheduled for the same day later, will pit the Houston Dynamo against Real Salt Lake. The victors from these pairings will meet in the Grand Final set for September 27.
Direct coverage: Cincinnati versus Miami will be followed closely by fans across North America as the two clubs chase a domestic trophy that carries a rich, storied legacy.
First played in 1914, the US Open Cup stands as the oldest ongoing national football competition in the United States. Unlike Major League Soccer, which operates as a privately funded league, the tournament is organized by the national federation, US Soccer. It invites all member teams in the federation, spanning professional outfits and amateur clubs alike, to vie for the historic trophy.
Considered the American analog to cups like the Copa del Rey, the Coppa Italia, the FA Cup, or the Copa Argentina, the competition has borne the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup name since 1999. This homage honors the prominent promoter of American soccer, Lamar Hunt, a pivotal figure in the sport’s development in the country. Hunt helped secure the establishment of professional soccer on North American soil in the late 1960s and later played a foundational role in forming MLS in the mid-1990s, cementing his legacy in both American football and soccer.
