There’s no easing up when it comes to Lionel Messi — and that’s big news for Toronto.
According to Javier Mascherano, resting Messi isn’t part of the plan heading into the 2026 World Cup. The focus is simple: keep him playing, keep him sharp, and manage him in real time.
This changes everything for the matchup against Toronto FC on May 9.
With:
All signs point to Messi being active, fit, and fully involved when Inter Miami comes to BMO Field.
And that makes this game massive.
With BMO Field undergoing major upgrades ahead of the FIFA World Cup, there are only a handful of moments this year that truly feel historic.
This is one of them.
Outside of the World Cup matches themselves, this game:
This isn’t just another MLS fixture — it’s a moment.
Messi isn’t managing minutes like a typical late-career player. He’s staying in rhythm, staying competitive, and still delivering at the highest level.
For Toronto, that means May 9 isn’t a “maybe he plays” situation anymore.
It’s shaping up to be one of the most important nights at BMO Field this year — right alongside the World Cup itself.
May 9 isn’t just a game — it’s a city moment, and we’re working directly with MLSE to bring the Toronto Latinos community together for Toronto FC vs Inter Miami at BMO Field — a chance to watch Messi and other World Cup-bound stars live, right here in our backyard weeks before the FIFA World Cup.
But we’re not just pulling up for 90 minutes. We’re starting with a pre-party at the stadium hours before the match, and finishing the night with an afterparty steps from the field. No moving your car. No breaking the vibe. Just one full-day experience. If you’re coming, come with us.
