Barcelona, Real Madrid, Liverpool confirmed for International Champions Cup

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool are named in a star-studded list of teams for the 2016 International Champions Cup pre-season tournament in USA.

Barcelona, Real Madrid and Liverpool have all been confirmed for the 2016 International Champions Cup pre-season tournament in the United States this summer.

Liverpool are one of four British clubs to be involved, including reigning Premier League champions Chelsea, current league leaders Leicester City and Scottish champions Celtic.

Other European giants to be confirmed for the tournament are Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan and Inter Milan.

"The competition and clubs involved this year speaks to the continued growth and success the International Champions Cup has experienced in its four-year history," Charlie Stillitano, chairman of Relevent Sports, said in a statement.

"This is the best roster of teams in ICC history and having them start their 2016-17 campaign playing against each other will be a treat for both fans and the players. Matches like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid at MetLife Stadium and Chelsea vs. Liverpool FC at Rose Bowl Stadium demonstrates the elite competition the ICC stands for.

"We are continuing to set the gold standard for soccer in America and abroad and are excited for summer to start."

Other teams including Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Juventus and Atletico Madrid will be involved in standalone ICC tournaments elsewhere in the world.
