IIn the big Inter Miami FC ‘Familia’, no one is left behind. On International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the club teamed up with Major League Soccer (MLS) and Culture City to open a completely renovated sensory room at Miami’s Francis S. Tucker K-8 Center School.
This new space was created as part of the 2025 MLS Cup Legacy Project, a community program accompanying the MLS Finals, which aims to further strengthen and strengthen our commitment to inclusion.

A legacy that grows beyond the event
In addition to representatives from the three organizations involved, the event was attended by Inter Miami first team players Ian Frey, Yannick Bright and Noah Allen, as well as members of the Inter Miami CF Special Olympics unified team. During the activity, students were able to tour the room and explore the tools available.
One in four students in the district has a disability (more than 80,000). For this reason, these types of resources are an important support for teachers and families, providing tools to examine each person’s feelings and emotions.
This room is designed to provide students with sensory needs a safe and calm environment where they can regulate their emotions, regain their composure, and return to the classroom ready to learn.
As mentioned above, this project is part of the community legacy that accompanies the MLS Finals, which will take place in Miami this Saturday, December 6th, where Lionel Messi and company will take on the Vancouver Whitecaps.
As part of the expanded initiative, Inter Miami, MLS and Culture City will provide 100 sensory bags to the future Miami Freedom Park stadium and train staff to assist people with sensory sensitivities during matches.
This is the first of three sensory facilities to open in Miami-Dade schools in 2025-2026.
