The China schedule of the International Champions Cup (ICC) has been announced and Milan will be playing in three of the four scheduled matches, along with Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Inter.
This marks the third consecutive year the ICC tournament to take place in China. If the sale of Milan is completed as expected to the Chinese consortium, the derby between Milan and Inter could be extra special as it will be a clash between two Chinese ownership groups Suning vs Sino Europe Sports.
Patrick Murphy, Chairman and President of Catalyst Media Group, “Since we brought ICC to China two years ago, we have achieved 91% brand awareness amongst Chinese football fans, attracted over 100 million TV viewers and our social media reach doubled year-on-year to 79 million. The ICC has truly revolutionized the pre-season touring experience for players, fans and commercial partners. We are now well established in China, so 2017 we aim to bring evolution in key areas.”
