Inter Miami CF Academy makes history as first youth program to sport Lionel Messi-branded kits for 2025-26 season

Inter Miami CF unveiled a historic kit development for their academy teams, announcing that all youth levels will wear jerseys featuring Lionel Messi's personal logo during the 2025-26 season. This move builds upon last season's Promise Kit, in which academy teams wore the same pink as the senior team for the first time.

The new Messi-branded will be available in both the signature pink home version and the black away design, with each prominently displaying the Argentine legend’s personal brand mark on the chest.

This development makes Miami the first and only youth academy globally to wear official match jerseys branded with Messi’s logo, creating a unique identity for the club’s development system.

By incorporating Messi’s personal brand into their academy identity, Inter Miami is leveraging their association with the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner beyond just his playing contributions.

Since Messi’s arrival in July 2023, Inter Miami has experienced extraordinary growth in global recognition, commercial opportunities, and talent attraction.

The Messi-branded academy kits will debut when the 2025-26 academy season begins later this year across all age groups from U12 through U19.
