On the latest episode of Inside Inter Miami, our hosts Michelle Kaufman and Andre Fernandez break down the turnaround and if it’s enough to carry them into positive results in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, which begins on June 14 at Hard Rock Stadium when Miami takes on Egyptian side, Al Ahly, to open the tournament.
