Inter Miami gets MLS-record $2M fine, $2.2M cap hit over Designated Player dealings

Major League Soccer has handed Inter Miami CF a $2 million fine -- the stiffest in MLS history -- over violations of the league's salary budget and roster regulations.

Along with the $2m fine to the club, MLS levied a reduction in allocation money of $2,271,500 spread out over the 2022 and 2023 seasons. With a total available spend of $19.155m across those two campaigns, the allocation money penalty amounts to 11.9% of Inter Miami's salary budget during that time.

The league also issued a personal fine of $250,000 to Inter Miami managing owner Jorge Mas.
