Real Madrid have received their invite to this summer's International Champions Cup pre season tournament and we will face Paris Saint-German, Chelsea and Bayern Munich this summer.
The press conference for the competition took place earlier today and having taken part in the ICC tournament last year in Australia and China, Real will return to the United States for this summer's involvement - and our involvement for the fourth consecutive year.
The game against PSG takes place at the Ohio Stadium on Wednesday July 28 with a 1.30am CET kick off (July 27, 7.30pm local time).
Los Blancos then face Chelsea but the venue and kick off time are yet to be confirmed. It will however take place on Saturday July 30.
The final game of the three, will be against Bayern Munich on Thursday August 4 with a 1.30am CET kick off time at the MetLife Stadium (August 3, 7.30pm local time).
The remainder of the tournament in the States is made up of Liverpool, Leicester City, Barcelona, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Celtic.
Real were of course winners in the US in 2013 and last summer in Australia and China.
Emilio Butragueno, Director of Institutional Relations, was on hand at the press conference to represent the club, and he said.
'First of all, thank you for the invitation. It's an honour to be here and to be playing in this tournament again this year. It's a great competition and one our players are proud to play in. We have got difficult opponents and it will require a lot of hard work. We return to the United States where football has grown a lot in recent years and it's an opportunity for our fans and the team to enjoy themselves.'
