Nu and Inter Miami CF Announce Historic Multi-Year Partnership and Nu Stadium Naming Rights

A new era in soccer begins today in Miami with the announcement of a historic, multi-year partnership between Nu—one of the world’s largest digital financial services platforms with 131 million customers—and Inter Miami CF, the current MLS Cup champion. The agreement establishes Nu as the club’s Main Partner. It comes at a pivotal moment for both organizations as Nu accelerates its international expansion into the United States and Inter Miami CF strengthens its position as one of the fastest-growing and most influential clubs in global sports.

A cornerstone of the agreement is that Inter Miami CF’s new, state-of-the-art stadium at Miami Freedom Park will officially be named Nu Stadium. This places the digital banking leader at the heart of one of the most ambitious sports and entertainment developments currently underway in the United States, scheduled to open on April 4, 2026.

Designed for year-round enjoyment, the stadium—seating 26,700 spectators—will serve as Inter Miami CF’s home ground while also hosting concerts of various scales, corporate and private events, and a wide range of additional sporting events, including friendlies and competitive matches. Nu and Inter Miami CF will create immersive experiences for fans and customers through curated programming and exclusive access.

For Nu, the partnership marks a significant milestone in its international growth strategy and reinforces its long-term commitment to the United States. The agreement follows Nu’s application for a national bank license with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in September 2025 and its conditional approval 121 days later.

For Inter Miami CF, the partnership adds to the club’s on-field success led by eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi, elite international talents such as Rodrigo De Paul, Luis Suárez, and Germán Berterame, as well as rising local stars like Noah Allen and Ian Fray—all while further cementing the club’s status as a global powerhouse. With Nu Stadium at its core, the collaboration reflects the growing intersection of finance, technology, and culture shaping the future of global sport.

“This long-term partnership represents a strategic alignment with an international sports franchise that shares our ambition and global mindset. Nu Stadium will anchor our brand in the United States, allowing us to connect with a diverse international community as we build the world’s most influential consumer technology platform,” said Cristina Junqueira, Co-founder and CEO of Nu’s emerging U.S. business.

“Inter Miami was created to set new standards and redefine what’s possible in soccer. That’s why we pursue greatness on the field by signing the best players in the world, and with equal importance we hold ourselves to that same standard when choosing the partners who help bring our vision to life,” said Jorge Mas, Managing Owner of Inter Miami CF. “Nu is exactly the kind of partner we were looking for—driven by the same disruptive mindset and global ambition that define Inter Miami. Together, we are proud to soon welcome our fans to Nu Stadium at Miami Freedom Park, a special place they can call home, where they feel connected, inspired, and part of something truly extraordinary.”

“Miami has always been a place where people arrive with big dreams, and from the beginning we wanted this Club to reflect that spirit,” said David Beckham, co-owner of Inter Miami. “Opening our new stadium is a truly special moment in our journey—a place where fans from South Florida and people from around the world can feel connected to our Club and watch us play. Nu Stadium will be the home of the Inter Miami family and a space that reminds everyone who visits of the Freedom to Dream.”

Beyond stadium naming rights, the agreement includes a broad portfolio of premium assets. Notably, Nu’s logo will appear on the back of the Inter Miami CF jersey—one of the best-selling kits in global soccer—as part of a new league asset set to debut in August 2026.

The historic partnership was celebrated on the night of March 3 when Nu Stadium came to life, illuminated with a pink heartbeat representing Inter Miami CF intertwined with purple veins symbolizing Nu—serving as a vivid reminder that the club’s new home is not just steel and concrete, but a living part of the city. A drone show also lit up Miami, marking the first heartbeat ahead of the inaugural home match on April 4, when the energy of Inter Miami fans will fully bring the stadium to life.

Nu will also feature two signature spaces inside Nu Stadium at Miami Freedom Park: the Nu Club, a premium hospitality lounge for 770 guests featuring a glass tunnel view of players as they walk from the locker room to the pitch; and the Nu Plaza, a dynamic community hub designed to host brand gathering spaces, a giant screen, and relaxation areas—creating a vibrant public space at the center of the district.

With Nu Stadium set to open its doors, Miami’s heartbeat grows stronger. As the stadium pulses with energy and anticipation, fans can be part of the moment by securing tickets for the inaugural season and the first home match on April 4 by purchasing season ticket memberships at the Inter Miami website.
