Miami-Dade County Mayor and MIA workforce welcome Miami Hurricanes home after Fiesta Bowl victory

The Miami Hurricanes recently touched down at Miami International Airport on January 9 to a heartfelt hometown welcome following their Fiesta Bowl victory in Glendale, Arizona, marking a proud moment for the entire Miami-Dade County community.

The team arrived to a water cannon salute from Miami-Dade Fire Rescue and cheers from enthusiastic MIA fans. As the players stepped off the plane, MIA team members lined the arrival area, holding “1-0” signs, which energized the Canes and reminded them that all of Miami-Dade is behind them.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava personally greeted the team to celebrate their hard work, determination, and the pride they bring to the community.

MIA now looks forward to welcoming visitors from across the nation for the College Football Playoff National Championship on January 19, when the Canes will play the Indiana Hoosiers in Miami.
