MIAMI GARDENS (CBSMiami) – The full lineup for the 2014 Guinness International Champions Cup was released Tuesday morning and looks like a who’s-who of some of the biggest soccer teams in the world.
The tournament, which is in its second year, will be played from July 26 to August 4 in 13 U.S. cities. The tournament will finish in South Florida with the semifinals and finals matches played August 4 at Sun Life Stadium.
The list of teams scheduled to compete in the Guinness International Champions Cup includes: Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Roma, and Olympiakis.
Combined, the teams in the tournament have won 27 UEFA Champions League titles.
The tournament could pull in one of the biggest crowds for a sporting event that Sun Life Stadium has ever seen if some of the top teams make it to the finals.
Last year, more than 67,000 fans came to Sun Life Stadium to watch Milan take the third place game and see Real Madrid beat Chelsea in the championship game.
While the Champions Cup will bring world class soccer to South Florida in 2014, all eyes are still on international soccer superstar David Beckham who is expected to announce a new MLS team in Miami on Wednesday.
