Brace yourselves, football fans, Inter Miami CF is coming to Hong Kong.
Tatler Asia has partnered with David Beckham, president and co-owner of Inter Miami CF, and Inter Miami CF to bring a star-studded football line-up to Asia’s World City for a special exhibition XFEST match on Sunday, February 4, 2024. Not only will this game be a part of his team’s first-ever global tour, but it is also a part of our inaugural Tatler XFEST.
The team, which will be headed by eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi and include legendary players such as Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, will play against a specially invited Hong Kong Team. Not only is this a very exciting collaboration, it is also an undeniable indication that Hong Kong is ready to reclaim its place as a world class destination.
“Hong Kong has such a great sports scene,” says Beckham. “In partnership with Tatler, we are pleased to be able to bring the team to this fantastic city as part of Inter Miami CF’s debut game in Asia.”
For Tatler Asia, this also spotlights our new brand experience Tatler XFEST, which will be launched on February 1, 2024.
“We are delighted to collaborate with David and Inter Miami CF to bring this remarkable match to Hong Kong,” says Michel Lamunière, CEO and chairman of Tatler Asia, and that “Tatler XFEST is more than just a football game; it’s a celebration of the best of Hong Kong through a combination of city-wide sporting, lifestyle and luxury experiences. We envision Tatler XFEST as an annual extravaganza, set to become the city’s most anticipated event of the year.
