Italian football titans AC Milan will face off against arch-rivals Inter Milan and Juventus in pre-season friendlies in the Australian city of Perth this August, the clubs said Thursday.
Inter Milan – currently top of the Serie A league– will take on local rivals AC Milan at the western Australian city’s Optus Stadium on August 5, the club said.
It will be the third consecutive year that AC Milan have played in Australia.
“On this occasion, the ‘Rossoneri’ will face Inter, taking the Milan Derby beyond national borders,” the club said.
Inter will then play Juventus – on their first-ever antipodean appearance – on August 8th.
The ‘Bianconeri’ will then take on the Serie B southern Italian side of Palermo on August 11th.
