To celebrate the launch of "The Hard Rock Messi Kids Menu" – "Where Magic Kicks Off" – Hard Rock took to the pitch and hosted an event at Leo Messi's new home of Inter Miami CF. Hard Rock is now an official partner of Inter Miami CF, and unveiled the exclusive VIP Hard Rock Terrace at DRV PNK Stadium on October 2nd. Leo Messi and Hard Rock International joined the Inter Miami team DJ and the La Familia Street Team to celebrate this momentous occasion, complete with delicious Messi X Burgers and Messi Golden Chicken Sandwiches, along with kids invited from the local community.

"As a father of three, I have always had a special connection with kids," said Leo Messi. "Now with my partners at Hard Rock, we will kick-off the new kids menu, offering families a variety of tasty meals and a fun dining experience."
