Why is Luis Suárez not playing for Inter Miami in the MLS Cup against Vancouver Whitecaps?

Luis Suarez has been excluded from inter Miami’s starting lineup to face the Vancouver Whitecaps, a decision that raised eyebrows ahead of the 2025 MLS Cup.

Inter Miami are hosting the MLS Cup against the Vancouver Whitecaps at Chase Stadium with a chance to lift the trophy for the first time. But once the lineups were released, questions immediately surfaced when Luis Suárez was left out of the Herons’ starting XI.

Luis Suárez won’t be playing against the Whitecaps due to a technical decision from head coach Javier Mascherano. Over Inter Miami’s last two postseason games, the Argentine manager has opted for Mateo Silvetti and Tadeo Allende to support Lionel Messi in the attack, and that approach has remained unchanged for the MLS Cup.
