“We’re heading to three incredible locations this year. Each of the stadiums has their own deep-rooted heritage similar to our own and we’ll face three great opposition teams in Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla and Sporting.

“This trip to the USA will be very special and we’re really looking forward to having as many of our supporters with us along the way.”
