Then later this summer we will have the International Champions Cup, in which Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Juventus, LA Galaxy, Everton, AC Milan, Chelsea and Valencia will all take part.
Teams will be divided into East and West regions with Chelsea, A.C. Milan, Valencia and Inter Milan playing in the East while Real Madrid, Juventus, the LA Galaxy and Everton battle in the West.
The way the competition is set up the East region will begin July 27 as A.C. Milan and Valencia face off in the Estadio Mestalla in Valencia. Then the competition moves to the USA where Chelsea and Inter will meet in Indianapolis on August 1. These same four teams will face-off in the tournament semifinals on August 4 in New York.
The West region will kick-off on July 31 in San Francisco when Juventus meets Everton, while a day later Real Madrid plays against the LA Galaxy in Phoenix. On August 3 the four West region teams will meet in the semifinals in Los Angeles.
All eight teams will then head to Miami for one more game on August 6 and 7, culminating in the Championship game on August 7th.

Tankyou for the info, love to attend in the games !!!
I would like to know when the MU VS Barcelona game will be on sale and where to buy it from.
Thank you
I would like to know when the Manchester vs barcelona ticket on sale.
Tickets go on sale late April Jose. Still waiting on an actual date
do you know where this game is taking place? thanks!
tickets are already on sale
us vs spain are tickets on sale today 4/19/11
Send me info for tickets to Real Madrid
Only heard rumors that RM is coming to the US this summer. Nothing official yet
there are rumors that either Valencia and Chichirito will not participate in this game
I would love to see both teams play but more important I’d like to see those two players in the field
how truth are these rumors?
We don’t know Douglas. Chichirito is playing for Mexico this summer in the gold cup and I believe the Copa America, so no word on whether he will make the US tour, but I believe that Fergie said he would be here for the US tour. Haven’t heard about Valenica missing it
hey is messi from barcelona going to be in the us summer tour. ive heard rumors that he is not. do you have any information
Not sure yet. Depends on whether he plays for Argentina this summer in the Copa America
Update this site with the list of Juventus’ US tour dates as well
Done
wts up bro is mesi going to come to miami for the chivas vs barcelona game august 3 any info
Not sure John. It hasn’t been announced. barca will give him a break after the Copa America’s. The question is whether it is after the US tour or before it
i love soccer
I would like to know if the ‘A’ team will be playing for Chelsea when they play AC Milan on July 28 in Miami? Will the stars like Lampard, Cahill, Torres, Terry be in the line-up?
Lampard, Cahill and hazard should all be part of the U.S. tour as they did not play in the Euros. Terry and Torres I am not sure about
i doubt any euros guys will be seeing too many minutes
Looks like we will see them for the games late July and certainly for the August games
Do you know if there is a list like this for friendlies in Europe? I’m going to be traveling this summer and really want to attend a match
is there a website that gives a listing of friendlies to be played in the USA this summer?
We will update this page with that information Lisa when games are announced. At the moment, no tour dates have been announced.
I personally am not an MLS fan, but I would like to see the “all stars” take on Munich, AC Milan or Inter. That would mean those clubs are in the States for a couple weeks this summer.
Totally agree Steve. Would love to see some of the top German sites come and tour the U.S.
Anyone from Serie A coming to the U.S this summer ?
At the moment there has been no announcement Rosario about any Serie A teams touring this summer
I didnt see SF mentioned but it was brought up in the 1st statement & who would be playing in SF & would it be at AT&T, the Stick, Stanford, or Buck shaw aka santa clara
Good question Larry. It has not been announced where in SF they will play. Same with Indianapolis.
My buddy and I had a discussion about the ICC, and were wondering if you could settle debates. First I made the argument that ICC will be just a preseason tournament for these teams, and comparable to other preseason “tournaments” across the world, he on the other hand, said the ICC would become as big as Europa League for these teams. Also I mentioned the fact that the ICC is no more than a showcase, and a warmup for these teams, while he disagreed, saying that eventually this would grow and become as big of a deal for these teams as the Europa League, so can you please end our debates, and explain what the ICC will be, and what it will be in the future.
The ICC will always just be a preseason tournament Andy. Teams will use it to get ready for the start of their domestic season.
The only way it can grow in statue beyond that is if the financial incentive to win the ICC grows. If say Real Madrid would get £10m or £20m for winning the ICC for example, then that becomes serious revenue, especially under Uefa’s Financial Fair Play rules.
The problem with that scenario is generating enough revenue from the tournament to pay that kind of money to winners. If they can sell the ICC as a Champions League Elite tournament, and sell TV rights around the world, they might be able to pull it off over time.
What are the remaining teams in the ICC?
They wil be announced on May 7
I would love to watch protugal vs brazil in boston on step 9th when would these tickets go on sale ?
I would expect them to go on sale late June, early July Mitchell
What are the chances that Juve, will be coming to San Francisco? And when will it be announced? Thank you!
Schedule will be announced on May 7 Gabby. Either Inter or Juve will play in San Fran. Just don’t know which one yet.
Any word of teams coming to montreal? I still have my ticket for the July 31st juve vs psg game that never happened because of the supercoppa ..you think any teams will be coming? Or to Toronto maybe?
Have not heard. The ICC is supposed to be May 7, so hopefully we will get more details on who is coming over and where they are playing
Any news on the teams participating?
Any news on the decision of the last 4 teams?
Please send me a schedule for AC Milan. Per your information they are coming but don’t see them on the schedule. Thanks
Still waiting for news for ICC. One name that I do hear is coming is Galatasaray. I would expect that at least one Premier League side will be included (Spurs?)
Im wondering whats going on down south florida, icc better post the other 4 tesms remaning.
And the germany vs. Ecuador is in FAU stadium in boca raton
Thanx Qantan. I will update the post
Do you know which match will be in San Francisco?
Schedule has not been released yet. Hopefully by the end of the month we will know who is playing where
Any news on the guatemala vs Argentina friendly match in June? I’d live to find some tickets if possible.
I believe that game is taking place in Guatemala Franz
Yeah I’ll be in guatemala on that day, which is why I wanted to try to get tickets.
