Envisioned as a lively cultural and community hub, the MI Café will offer fans a dedicated space to gather, enjoy immersive MI-themed experiences, attend live events, and stay connected with the club throughout the year. Combining curated food and ambience with live screenings, merchandise zones, interactive fan activities and community-led programming, the initiative marks MI’s strategic entry into experiential spaces.
