Spanish giants Real and Italian champions Juventus is likely to be joined by Inter Milan and Major League Soccer's LA Galaxy, match organizers said on Tuesday. The United States is becoming a primary location for European groups to play rewarding pre-season helpful travels but the eight-team contest, which will be held at venues around the world, promises to include a competitive edge. RSE Ventures, headed by billionaire Stephen Ross, also manager of the NFL's Miami Dolphins, say the competition can change from conventional pre-season friendlies by employing a knock-out format and giving significant prize money. Seven-times European winners AC Milan, Turkish membership Galatasaray and two primary Premier League clubs are understood to be in talks targeted at joining the event. A tv deal has been hit with Fox Soccer Channel in the United States with worldwide broadcasting deals expected. "What is different is that is just a real tournament. Obviously before we have had pleasant fits and some have been quite successful," Charlie Stillitano, chief executive of Relevant Sports, RSE's soccer team, told Reuters. "We are trying to bring a bit of this Champions League wonder to pre-season. We all know it is not the Champions League but managers have told us they are able to not proceed through pre-season winning contests that mean nothing." Real Madrid's director of institutional relations, Emilio Butragueno, said the structure could stimulate the Spanish club's people. "Playing for Real Madrid means, regardless, you have to gain every match but playing a match is going to give the people something extra," he said. Full information on the participating groups and spots are required by next month however the final will be held in Miami, at the Dolphins' Sun Life Stadium, in early August.
