Additionally, Inter Miami secured a 2024 Concacaf Champions Cup berth by advancing to the final of the Leagues Cup and has the opportunity to win the Club’s first official trophy on Saturday.
Nashville SC, meanwhile, will enter the final after defeating LIGA MX side C.F. Monterrey 0-2 in semifinals. Overall, the Tennessee-based side recorded five wins and a defeat en route to the final. Forward Sam Surridge is Nashville’s top-scorer in the tournament with three, while midfielder Hany Mukhtar leads the team in assists with five.
