NEW YORK (Friday, April 5, 2024) – Inter Miami CF forward Luis Suárez was voted the Major League Soccer Player of the Month for February and March 2024.
In his first month in MLS, Suárez recorded five goals and added three assists for an Inter Miami team that currently sits tied for second in the Eastern Conference. Suárez’s five goals were tied for the second most in MLS, with all five of those coming from open play. The eight goal contributions were also the second most in the league, trailing only Real Salt Lake’s Cristian Arango (nine). With Suárez leading the forward line, Inter Miami finished with a 3-2-2 record during February and March, totaling an MLS-best 14 goals to begin the year. Suárez also earned Player of the Matchday honors for his two-goal, two-assist performance on Matchday 3 as Miami defeated Orlando City SC, 5-0.
Suárez becomes the first Miami player in club history to be named MLS Player of the Month. The dynamic forward becomes the third Uruguayan player to earn the honor in MLS history and the first to do so since Nicolás Lodeiro’s performance for Seattle Sounders FC in the month of August in 2016. Suárez is the first player to be named MLS Player of the Month in his debut month of MLS action since Daryl Dike for Orlando City SC in August 2020.
Suárez and Miami will look to return to the top of the Eastern Conference when they host the Colorado Rapids on Matchday 8 (7:30 p.m. ET, MLS Season Pass).
MLS Player of the Month is voted upon by a panel of select national media members in a process conducted by MLS Communications.
