Description

Miami is the future—a hyperglobal, yet local community fueled by intersection and interconnection. It stands at the gateway of the Americas and welcomes millions from around the world, creating an energy and culture unlike anywhere else on the planet. Some of us are born and raised here. Some of us came long ago and were embraced like family. And still, others have just arrived. But we all, at heart, share the same qualities: courage, tenacity, ambition, dedication to our community, and a passion for the joy of life.

We fly in the face of conventional thinking and take pride in disrupting the status quo. We are here to change the game.

We harness the city’s great history and unmatched culture to create new traditions, rituals, and symbols that are admired around the world. We have brought world class fu´tbol to this world class city, once and for all. Fu´tbol that is as creative, exciting, unique, and multicultural as we are. Fu´tbol that makes people everywhere wish they could be here. It is in this context that the Miami Freedom Park stadium and commercial entertainment district is being realized.

Libertas. Unitas. Fortuna. Freedom. Unity. Fortune. This is us. This is Miami.
