  • Lionel Messi's Inter Miami Champions Cup match against Sporting Kansas City has been postponed due to adverse weather conditions, including heavy snowfall, the North American soccer body CONCACAF said on Monday.

A snowstorm in the Dallas-Fort Worth area delayed Lionel Messi's debut for Inter Miami in the CONCACAF Champions Cup against FC Dallas. The match, originally scheduled for 9 p.m. ET, was postponed due to severe weather conditions, with the new start time set for 8:30 p.m. ET. The storm brought heavy snowfall, sleet, and ice, leading to hazardous road conditions and power outages across the region. Despite the delay, the game was expected to proceed with Messi, who has been in fine form, scoring in his last three games for Inter Miami.
