The Riyadh Cup will pit top teams from the Saudi Pro League against the Major League Soccer.
Al-Hilal and Inter Miami are scheduled to play in the friendly tournament.

The match, which takes place on February 1, may be the last encounter between these two all-time greats, who have a combined total of 13 Ballon d’Or.
“I can’t wait to be part of #RiyadhSeasonCup with my team Inter Miami CF as we face top Saudi clubs in a historic championship,” Messi wrote on social media.
