The draw for the Concacaf Champions Cup is complete and while Inter Miami won’t enter the tournament until the round of 16, there is quite the patch awaiting Lionel Messi in his first edition of North America’s premier continental competition. The Herons booked their first-ever berth to the tournament by winning Leagues Cup and they’ll be pitted against the winner of the first-round tie between Nashville SC and Moca FC. It’s a match that could have some history as Miami defeated Nashville SC to win Leagues Cup while if Moca are able to engineer an upset, the Herons will face a team from the Dominican Republic in their first continental match.

The Herons are also on the same side of the bracket as their in-state rivals Orlando City SC, the MLS Supporter’s Shield winners FC Cincinatti, the Houston Dynamo and St. Louis City SC, although one of those teams will be knocked out in the first round. Mexican giants. With that much firepower one one side of the bracket, if the Herons make it to out of the round of 16 they could be well positioned to win the tournament especially with Luis Suarez expected to join the club during the winter.
Tata Martino’s squad could also be pitted against the MLS Cup winners the Columbus Crew or Mexican giants Tigres in the semifinals. If they make it to the final, they could face the likes of the Philadelphia Union, Pachuca, and Club America but by then they’ll be well-tested given what the right side of the bracket looks like. Round one will kick off on Feb. 6 while the round of 16 where Miami will enter takes place between March 5-14. Each match before the final will be two-legged ties including a home and away leg.
