Inter Miami CF has officially announced a landmark long-term partnership with Nubank, the Latin American digital banking giant. The agreement names the club’s highly anticipated new permanent home “Nubank Stadium” (at Miami Freedom Park) and positions the bank as a key player in the U.S. financial market.
The new 131-acre stadium development is scheduled to open its doors on April 4, 2026, marking the end of the club’s tenure at Chase Stadium.
A Strategic Entry into the U.S. Market
Nubank, which boasts over 131 million customers across Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, is using this partnership as a springboard for its U.S. expansion. The bank recently received conditional approval for a federal bank charter to operate in the States.
Key details of the partnership include:
- Naming Rights: The permanent home at Miami Freedom Park will carry the Nubank name.
- Jersey Sponsorship: Nubank will feature as the “back of jersey” sponsor, a newly authorized asset by MLS.
- Premium Spaces: The bank will anchor two exclusive premium hospitality areas within the stadium.
The “Messi” Catalyst
Inter Miami owner Jorge Mas emphasized that the partnership with Nubank aligns with the club’s “disruptive” philosophy. “Since we signed Leo Messi, we have focused on elite brands where we could add value,” Mas stated. “Nubank has disrupted personal finance in Latin America, and they fit the profile of a firm that does things like Inter Miami does.”
Cristina Junqueira, co-founder and CEO of Nu’s emerging U.S. business, noted the global power of the Inter Miami brand, citing the sight of children wearing Messi jerseys even in Vatican City as proof of the club’s universal appeal.
