As is the custom on the part of this great team, Barcelona, will begin the preseason in a very striking and spectacular way, which will be very useful as preparation for the next season where, as always, they will seek to win all competitions in which they participate , and what better way to prepare for the regular season than doing a tour in the United States, a world power in the sports market, where Football or Soccer depending where you are living in, have seen an exponential growth year after year from organizing the FIFA World Cup 1994 in conjunction with the sustained and planned growth of their domestic Football League, the Major League Soccer.

The International Champions Cup is a tournament organized by the company Relevant Sports, which is being held since 2012, and seeks to create a high-level competition for clubs that are in the Elite of Football in order to help this teams resume their competitive pace by playing against excellent rivals while obtaining a good economic remuneration, by playing this matches in countries that have great purchasing power, as it is the United States, that have a great hunger to see games like this.

The competitive schedule was announced on Tuesday, July 2 in New York City and the competition will consist of three matches which I will now mention. On July 22, against Juventus, which will be played in New York City at the Metlife Stadium, that has room for 82500 spectators, will be a match of great importance not only because Juventus is one of the best teams in the world, which after the Calciopoli scandal has been able to restructure themselves, in order to win several Italian League championships and also reaching two Champions League finals, and as we all know, the Blaugrana participated in one of them winning, but in the 2016/2017 Champions League edition they lost in the quarterfinals against the Bianconeri, so they can take this opportunity as a kind of a rematch to get off to a good start this tournament.
The second game played on July 26 against Manchester United at the FedEx Field in Washington. This game is of great importance since Manchester United is not at the top of their level as evidenced by their performance in recent seasons, the Red Devils have shown their hunger to return to the World Football elite by winning the Uefa Europa League 2016/2017 and by hiring last season as technical director Jose Mourinho. This will be a very interesting game. Finally, Barcelona will close their participation in this tournament by facing their toughest rival, Real Madrid, on July 29 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, which has a capacity for 65,000 spectators and where an absolute full is expected due to The great Hispano-American community that is in that area. It should also be noted that it is the second time in history that "El Clasico" is played outside of Spanish lands, after the one made in Venezuela in 1992.

El calendario competitivo fue dado a conocer el dia martes 2 de julio en la ciudad de nueva york y la competición constara de tres partidos los cuales mencionaremos a continuación: El 22 de julio ante la Juventus, el cual se jugara en la ciudad de Nueva York en el imponente Metlife Stadium. Este es un encuentro de gran importancia no solo porque Juventus es uno de los mejores equipos a nivel mundial, que luego del escándalo del Calciopoli han sabido restructurase y probarse en el escenario mundial, alcanzando varios campeonatos de la Liga Italiana, sino también llegando a dos Finales de Champions League, y como todos sabemos los blaugranas participaron en una de ellas ganándoles, pero en la edición de la Champions League 2016/2017 los cule perdieron en los cuartos de final ante los bianconeri, por lo cual podrán tomar este partido como una especie de revancha para comenzar con buen pie este torneo.
El segundo partido jugado el dia 26 de Julio en contra del Manchester United en el FedExField de la ciudad de Washington. Este partido es de gran importancia, ya que a pesar de que el Manchester United no se encuentra en el tope de su nivel como lo demuestra su desempeño en las ultimas temporadas, los Diablos Rojos han demostrado su hambre por volver a la elite del Futbol Mundial al ganar la Uefa Europa League 2016/2017 y al contratar la temporada como director técnico a Jose Mourinho. Sera un partido muy intersante. Por último el Barcelona cerrara su participación en este torneo enfrentando a su mas acérrimo rival, el Real Madrid, el 29 de Julio en el imponente estadio Hard Rock Stadium de Miami, el cual posee un aforo de 65.000 y en donde se espera un lleno absoluto debido a la gran comunidad hispano americana que se encuentra en esa zona. Cabe destacar también que es la segunda vez en la historia que “El Clásico” es jugado fuera de tierras españolas, luego del realizado en Venezuela en el año 1992.

Would have loved to see them make at least one game here on the West Coast where soccer tends to be a bit more popular, but I guess I'll have to wait to see if that ever happens.
I assume its a strategy to make football(soccer) a bit more popular on the east coast!! good observation nonetheless
It's wonderful to see these European clubs in America, even if it's just an exhibition game.
Surely it is, games this year are really good. Barca, Real madrid, Juventus and Manchester united. Top!!!!
Nice post as always. Thanks @steemsports!
