Full Schedule Revealed for 2019 International Champions Cup
The International Champions Cup summer preseason slate of exhibitions has been unveiled.
The list of participating clubs was revealed last week, with Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Manchester United, Tottenham, Arsenal, Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma, Bayern Munich, Benfica and Chivas Guadalajara all taking part. Past participants like Barcelona, PSG, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund are not returning for the seventh edition of the competition, which will be held across the United States, Europe and Asia between July 16 and August 10.
One of the headlining matches is the first Madrid derby to be played outside of Europe, when Real and Atletico meet at MetLife Stadium outside New York. Atletico Madrid is involved in another of the headliners, a Champions League rematch of sorts vs. Juventus in Stockholm to close the competition. Juventus's participation is limited to Singapore, Sweden and China, with the New York Times recently reporting that the club is steering clear of the USA in part because of the ongoing investigation by the Las Vegas Police Department into a rape allegation against Cristiano Ronaldo. Manchester United, Tottenham and Inter Milan are also only playing in Europe and Asia.
Four MLS venues will be hosting games, with matches taking place at the homes of the Chicago Fire, LA Galaxy, New York Red Bulls and New England Revolution.
