Inter to take part in The Soccer Tournament (TST) 2024 in North Carolina

MILANO – Inter is delighted to announce its participation in the 2024 edition of The Soccer Tournament (TST), the prestigious U.S. 7-a-side event to be held in Cary, North Carolina, between 5 and 10 June.

Inter is set to compete for the first time in the tournament, which is now in its second edition and was a big success in 2023. The Nerazzurri squad will consist of various branches of the Inter family: a selection of Inter Legends (including Javier Zanetti, Marco Materazzi, Maicon and Giorgos Karagounis) will be joined by Inter Academy, Inter Club and Inter Campus players, as well as international talent and content creators linked to the Club.

Inter will participate in the event with the aim of being as competitive as possible and increasing its brand awareness in the region by involving attendees in fan engagement activities related to the Nerazzurri world.

The Club's participation in the TST is part of the journey that Inter is on to build a local community and fanbase by getting involved in key events in the area, and it will represent a key step in the run-up to the 2025 Club World Cup. The path the Club has gone down is a well-consolidated one and has seen the Nerazzurri take part in numerous events in the USA, from the United Soccer Coaches Convention in California through to the Jefferson Cup in Virginia. The Nerazzurri colours have also been present at the most iconic events and venues in the world of sports and entertainment, such as the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Madison Square Garden.
