Tottenham Hotspur to play Juventus in pre-season tour

Tottenham Hotspur announce plans to return to Australia in July 2016 to compete in the International Champions Cup.

Tottenham Hotspur will take on Serie A champions Juventus in their 2016-17 pre-season tour of Australia.

Mauricio Pochettino's side will head Down Under in July to participate in the annual International Champions Cup tournament, which features the world's top teams competing on different continents around the globe.

Spurs' meeting with Juve has been set for Tuesday, July 26 at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground, with a clash against another unnamed European side following on Friday, July 29.

The trip to Australia will be Tottenham's second in as many years following a post-season tour in May that culminated with more than 71,000 fans turning out to see them take on Sydney FC at the ANZ Stadium.

"We are excited to be returning to Australia after sharing such great memories from our trip to Sydney last summer," said Pochettino. "We were all amazed at the level of support our club has on the other side of the world and to see more than 70,000 fans watch us play against Sydney FC was a great experience for everyone.

"We look forward to returning in July and giving more of our fans the opportunity to see the team play up close as we prepare for another hugely competitive season. We also look forward to thanking our Australian fans for their support throughout the season despite the huge time difference."

The Aussie leg of last year's International Champions Cup was won by Real Madrid.
