Soccer Champions Tour to Bring Real Madrid, Barcelona & Others to U.S.

Top clubs from around the globe are heading to the United States for the new Soccer Champions Tour, announced Friday by AEG. The tour will feature five clubs playing in five games in four major cities in the western half of the country in a nine-day span in late July.

Headlining the tour is a U.S. staging of “El Classico,” when Real Madrid CF and FC Barcelona face off at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Saturday, July 23. The match will feature the recently crowned La Liga and UEFA Champions League winner against their Spain rival, and the first team either club has played a game in the United States since 2019. Juventus and Club Deportivos Guadalajara will also play at Allegiant Stadium in the tours first contest July 22. From there, clubs will head to Oracle Park in San Francisco (Real Madrid vs. Club America on Tuesday, July 26), Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas (FC Barcelona vs. Juventus the same day), and then close out with a Real Madrid vs. Juventus contest at Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles on Saturday, July 30.

“AEG is excited to launch this unparalleled soccer tour as five of the most exceptional soccer clubs in the world return to the United States this summer,” said Tom Braun, AEG Senior Vice President of Soccer & Business Operations and Business Development. “Following several years without seeing some of these teams in the United States, we are thrilled to provide the opportunity for soccer fans in the U.S. to once again watch their favorite European and Mexican clubs play in person.”
