The opening match of the new MLS season at Inter Miami’s stadium was filled with celebrity guests. Among those in attendance for David Beckham’s team’s season opener against New York City FC was French football star Paul Pogba. Also present in the stands was tennis legend Serena Williams, accompanied by her daughter Olympia.
Beckham shared a warm conversation with both Williams and her daughter, even gifting Serena an Inter Miami jersey. The club’s official X account later shared the moment.
Olympia was particularly engaged in the exchange, as she has a growing interest in football among her various hobbies. Interestingly, she doesn’t share the same passion for tennis, the sport that made her mother a global icon. However, she stays active and frequently trains alongside Serena in their home gym.
On the field, Inter Miami opened the season with a 2-2 draw. Lionel Messi played a key role, providing two assists to help his team secure a point. The Argentine now boasts 21 goals and 20 assists in his MLS career with Inter Miami.
