Roma to face big names in 2019 ICC

At a star-studded presentation ceremony in New York on Wednesday, it was revealed that the Giallorossi will face Chivas Guadalajara, Arsenal and Benfica in this year's tournament.

The Giallorossi will be heading to Chicago, Charlotte and New Jersey for the three matches, in what will be key preparation for the 2019-20 Serie A campaign.

Here are the complete details for Roma’s three games this summer, as they participate in the ICC for the fifth time...

July 16 – v. Chivas
Seatgeek Stadium, Chicago

July 20 – v. Arsenal
Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte

July 24 – v. Benfica
Red Bull Arena, New York

The Giallorossi will kick off their tournament in Chicago, as they face ICC newcomers Chivas Guadalajara in their first game of the tournament at the soccer-specific Seatgeek Stadium, home of the Chicago Fire.

Four days later the side will be in Charlotte, North Carolina - for an eye-catching contest against Premier League side Arsenal in the 75,000-capacity Bank of America Stadium.

The tournament will then conclude for the Giallorossi at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey, against Portuguese side Benfica. The purpose-built soccer stadium should be familiar territory for the team - who trained there last summer, and beat Tottenham Hotspur at the venue during the 2017 ICC tournament.

Each team competing in the ICC will play three games, with three points awarded for a win.

Any games that finish level after 90 minutes will immediately go to a penalty shootout - with the winning side awarded two points and the losers one point.

At the end of the tournament, the team with the most points from its three games will be crowned the ICC winner.
