Inter Miami Finally Takes Field With First Preseason Practice

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. (AP) – David Beckham’s new soccer team finally got to play soccer.

After more than six years of planning - and a process that was at times brutally difficult - Inter Miami took the field for the first time Monday. The expansion MLS club’s inaugural training camp opened at Barry University, with about two dozen players on the field.

“It’s real,” said Paul McDonough, Inter Miami’s sporting director. “Every day we do something, every milestone we hit, everything becomes more real.”

Beckham wasn’t at the workout and is not expected in town for a few more weeks.
