In a subtle and significant move, the soccer world is witnessing the emergence of a new generation of Messi family talent.
Thiago Messi, his 10-year-old son, is beginning his soccer career, while his father, Lionel Messi, has captivated the world with his astounding performances on the field.
Next Generation of Messi Talent Takes the Field
Inter Miami, which recently celebrated Lionel Messi’s arrival with pomp and circumstance, has quietly introduced Thiago Messi to the under-12 squad of its youth academy.
The news of Thiago’s participation in the club’s youth setup has piqued supporters’ interest, even as Lionel’s athletic exploits continue to amaze.
The Inter Miami under-12 team represents the youngest level of the club’s five-level development academy structure.
While youth development in the United States is frequently centered on school-based and travel groups such as AAU, European sports organizations have a long-standing tradition of cultivating young talent via specialized academies.
Thiago’s enrollment in Inter Miami’s academy represents a significant transition, as he was not previously affiliated with any European academy.
