Miami Freedom Park[1][2] is a 25,000-seat soccer-specific stadium currently under construction in Miami, Florida, United States. It is planned to be the home of the Major League Soccer team Inter Miami CF. In spring of 2022, final approval was given by the city of Miami to build a stadium on the current site of the Melreese golf course, close to the Miami International Airport. The decision followed a long process in which numerous locations were considered for the stadium. The current plans would see the stadium opened for the 2026 MLS season.[3][4]
