Roma joins Melbourne ICC fray
Print Edition
ITALIAN giant AS Roma will join Manchester City and Real Madrid in next year’s International Champions Cup in Melbourne, organizers said yesterday.
The three-time Serie A champion rounds out the three teams taking part in the tournament at the 100,000-capacity Melbourne Cricket Ground from July 18-24.
“We had an excellent experience in last year’s ICC in the United States and are confident this tournament will also be a great success with top-notch competition,” said Roma chief executive Italo Zanzi. “We very much look forward to playing in Melbourne.”
Organizers are looking to build on the local appetite for top European teams after a crowd of 95,000 watched Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Melbourne Victory at the MCG last year.
The event will kick off with Real facing Roma on July 18, followed by City against the Italians three days later. It wraps up with City-Real on July 24.
