Mas's passion for football led him to become involved in the Inter Miami project. Alongside David Beckham, the businessman has worked tirelessly to build a competitive team and make Miami a footballing city.

With Messi’s arrival, Mas has taken another step toward fulfilling his dream. The signing of the Argentine star will not only raise Inter Miami’s profile but also help popularize football in the U.S.
