If you’ve been anywhere near Hard Rock Stadium lately, you’ve felt it—the pulse, the chants, the beat of drums in the parking lot. Miami isn’t just hosting the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup—we’re throwing a full-blown party for the beautiful game, and the whole world is invited.

And guess what? There’s no better way to ride into this global soccer fiesta than top-down in a Mustang Convertible, cruising under the 305 sun, blasting your anthem of choice, and repping the Magic City in full style.

So if you’re wondering what to do in Miami this weekend, this is it.

Welcome to the World’s Most Electrifying Soccer Party

From June 14 to July 1, Miami is center stage for one of soccer’s biggest showdowns—the newly expanded FIFA Club World Cup, featuring 32 elite teams from around the globe.

Hard Rock Stadium has become the ultimate arena, hosting legends like:

Real Madrid
Bayern Munich
Palmeiras
Boca Juniors
Benfica
And yes... Inter Miami CF, starring Leo Messi himself.

Fans from every continent have descended on Miami. We’re talking 55,000+ packed into the stadium for Boca vs Benfica. Bayern vs Boca? Sold out—63,000 fans strong. Inter Miami? Always electric. And the parking lot tailgates? Let’s just say, you haven’t lived until you’ve seen Boca fans grill chorizo next to Inter fans blasting “Muchachos” from a drop-top Mustang.

💥 Messi Madness in the 305

June 23 was one for the books: Inter Miami vs. Palmeiras, a 2–2 thriller that gave Messi a hero’s welcome under the Miami sun. Goals, fireworks, and the kind of chants that shake the concrete. He’s back. And Miami’s never been louder.

🏖️ Game Day, Miami Convertibles Style

Now let’s talk logistics—with flavor.

How do you experience match day the Miami way? You don’t just go to the game. You build a whole day around it. This is about cruising, soaking in the city, and showing up with swagger.

Here’s your Ultimate Game Day Itinerary, Mustang Convertibles edition:

☕ 10:00 AM – Fuel Up in Wynwood

Kick off the day with a bold brew at Panther Coffee in Wynwood. Wander through the murals, snap a photo at the famous angel wings, and let that creative street art energy hype you up for the match.

🏖️ 11:30 AM – Beach Break on the Causeway

Nothing says “Miami” like a mid-morning dip. Head over the 79th Street Causeway, find a tucked-away beach near North Bay Village, and feel that salt breeze. You’ve got the top down, the ocean on your right, and the stadium in your sights. Now we’re talkin’.

🌭 2:00 PM – Tailgate Takeover at Hard Rock Stadium

This is the moment. You roll into Hard Rock Stadium, roof still down, tunes on, and the energy is already peaking. Join the sea of flags, chants, grilled meats, and fútbol folklore. Locals and travelers all together—Miami becomes one giant block party.

⚽ 3:30 PM – Match Time

Step inside the stadium. The sound hits you like a wave. Flags waving. Horns blaring. Messi in motion. It’s 90 minutes of adrenaline, heart, and pure fútbol.

And when that final whistle blows—win or lose—you’re still riding high.

🍸 6:30 PM – Sunset Cocktails in Brickell

Time to cool down—but never really stop. Head to Brickell and toast the game with rooftop mojitos at Sugar or some tapas at Marabu. Park your Mustang along the waterfront and soak in those post-game vibes.
