Previous Meetings

Inter Miami II and Chattanooga FC have faced each other on three occasions, all of which came in the 2024 season. The last meeting between the two ended in an outstanding 5-1 victory for the Herons at Chase Stadium back in October of last year.

The other two fixtures went in favor of the opposition earlier in the year.

Scouting Report

Chattanooga FC will visit South Florida to start the 2025 MLS NEXT Pro season after narrowly missing the 2024 playoffs due to a four-way tie at 45 points, losing out on goal differential.

The departure of top scorer Mehdi Ouamri opens the door for rising talent, with players like Tate Robertson and Keegan Ancelin expected to play key roles for Chattanooga this season.

Ledesma steps into the role after two seasons as Inter Miami CF IIā€™s assistant coach and a year as an assistant for the Clubā€™s U-17 Academy team.
