If there's something we love about international championships, it's the chance to enjoy teams filled with players from all around the world. In this Leagues Cup, there are not only Mexican and American players, but also English, Norwegian, Jamaican, Argentine, Spanish, and others.
Today, we will review the squads of the two finalists and see how many nationalities could be on the field once the referee blows the whistle for the start of the match on Saturday, August 19th, at Geodis Park.
The Inter Miami CF squad is composed of 32 players from 15 different nationalities.
- United States (11)
- Argentina (4)
- Spain (2)
- Brazil (2)
- Ecuador (2)
- Sweden (1)
- Paraguay (1)
- France (1)
- Finland (1)
- Venezuela (1)
- England (1)
- Ukraine (1)
- Dominican Republic (1)
- Canada (1)
- Honduras (1)
Naturally, Argentine Lionel Messi and Spaniards Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets are the team's stars. However, players like Venezuelan Josef Martinez, Canadian Kamal Miller, and Finnish Robert Taylor stand out among the rest due to their quality and leadership. They could be the key to Inter Miami CF securing their first title.
The Nashville SC squad is composed of 30 players from 10 different nationalities.
- United States (19)
- England (2)
- Canada (2)
- Belgium (1)
- Germany (1)
- Cameroon (1)
- Costa Rica (1)
- Haiti (1)
- Panama (1)
- Slovakia (1)
It could be said that Nashville is a more "local" team, but it's evident they have chosen foreign players wisely to complete their squad. German Hany Mukhtar and Haitian Fafà Picault are prime examples of this.
