With the International Champions Cup Looming, Europe’s Top Soccer Clubs Gear up to Play Across the US

It’s been a busy year for soccer fans in the United States. Copa America Centenario took the nation by storm in June, as thousands flocked to stadiums across the country for the opportunity to see South America’s top soccer stars like Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez play in their own backyard. Luckily for soccer buffs, the summer madness isn’t over, as the International Champions Cup (ICC) is set to begin later this month, which is sure to put the country in a soccer frenzy once again.

The ICC is a series of club football friendlies with matches taking place in Australia, China, Europe, and the United States. Featuring some of the world’s top soccer teams, the United States edition will consist of Chelsea, Leicester City, and Liverpool, of the Premier League (England), Paris Saint-Germain of Ligue 1 (France), Bayern Munich of Bundesliga (Germany), Inter Milan and AC Milan of Serie A (Italy), and Real Madrid of La Liga (Spain).

Like Copa America, games are set to take place at large stadiums across the nation.
