City, Real to clash in Melbourne
Print Edition
ENGLISH Premier League champion Manchester City will join European champion Real Madrid at next year’s International Champions Cup in Melbourne, organizers said yesterday.
City is the second team announced for the three-team tournament to take place at the 100,000-capacity Melbourne Cricket Ground from July 18-24.
The third team for the series has yet to be confirmed, but reports have linked Italian Serie A side Inter Milan.
Owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan has invested over 1 billion pounds (US$1.5 billion) since acquiring City in 2008. Since Mansour’s arrival, City has won two Premier League titles, in 2012 and 2014, as well as the 2011 FA Cup and this year’s League Cup.
City also has a stake in Australia’s A-League after the club’s Abu Dhabi-based owners purchased and re-branded Melbourne Heart as Melbourne City early this year.
