Global Institute of Sport (GIS) are proud to be partnered with Major League Soccer franchise Inter Miami CF.
As part of the groundbreaking agreement, all GIS and UCFB students, including those studying online, are able to attend the Global Sports Summit event at the Inter Miami CF Stadium each year. The summit is based around 4-5 days of specially tailored talks, workshops and visits specific to the American sports industry.
Home to Major League Soccer’s newest franchise, the Inter Miami CF Stadium officially opened in 2020 when the club made its MLS debut. Built in just eight months, the 18,000 capacity arena has been given a full Inter Miami makeover and is decked out in the club’s pink, white and black colours. As the home to GIS Miami Global Sports Summit, the facility is the perfect base for students and alumni to explore one of North America’s leading sports destinations.
In addition, Inter Miami CF Stadium will act as a touchpoint throughout the course of the academic year for the Americas delivery of GIS' online degrees. Students will also be to take advantage of internship opportunities and guest speakers sessions thanks to the collaboration between GIS and Inter Miami CF.
This is an exciting, innovative project with GIS that allows us to deepen South Florida’s position as a global leader in sports business and education, and to continue expanding our international network in the process.
GIS Chairman Brendan Flood commented: “This is truly a landmark moment for GIS and education in North America.”
Inter Miami CF Managing Owner Jorge Mas added: “This is an exciting, innovative project with GIS that allows us to deepen South Florida’s position as a global leader in sports business and education, and to continue expanding our international network in the process. Our facilities were built with flexibility in mind to serve as long-term economic drivers attracting more business, international competitions and tourism to our communities."
