Inter Miami will play Nashville SC in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Concacaf Champions Cup. The champion of the competition will qualify for the new FIFA tournament that will have 32 teams.

Gerardo Martino's team won the Leagues Cup in August 2023 and this gave it access to this edition of the tournament. Of the 16 teams still in competition, eight are Americans and five are Mexican. Only Herediano and Alajuelense from Costa Rica, and Robinhood from Suriname, break that hegemony.
