Eva Longoria, Serena Williams attend Inter Miami's thrilling 2025 MLS Season opener as Lionel Messi and Co. draw NYCFC

Eva Longoria and Serena Williams were seen gracing Chase Stadium for Inter Miami CF's 2025 MLS season opener. The Hollywood actress and tennis legend's presence added to the glamor of the event, marking the beginning of Inter Miami's highly anticipated season. Both women have strong ties to soccer investment and ownership, with Longoria an investor in Mexico's Club Necaxa while Williams has been involved in Angel City FC, an NWSL team.

Longoria and Williams' presence at the Inter Miami match highlights the club's appeal to high-profile figures and its ambition to be at the forefront of the MLS going forward. That is further echoed by the presence of some of football’s greatest stars on their roster, including superstar Lionel Messi.

Inter Miami CF kicked off their 2025 MLS season with a 2-2 draw over New York City FC at Chase Stadium. Javier Mascherano’s side will now face Sporting KC in the second leg of their Round 1 CONCACAF Champions Cup tie, going into the leg 1-0 ahead on aggregate.
