The Club World Cup, which kicks off Saturday with $1 billion in prizes, faces many challenges. Lionel Messi and Inter Miami CF will play in the opener.

When the ball gets kicked off the center circle of Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, the United States will go down in history as the first host of the most important soccer tournament created this century.

Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami face Egypt’s Al Ahly in the opening fixture of the June 14-July 13 tournament in Miami.
