Juventus are returning to the United States this summer, after last season's successful Summer Tour. This time, the Bianconeri are set to face Barcelona, AC Milan and Real Madrid in the Soccer Champions Tour 2023.
They are three high-level friendlies, and should come as great tests before the 2023/24 season gets underway.
So, let's take a closer look at the three stadiums that will host the Bianconeri this summer!
LEVI'S STADIUM - SANTA CLARA
Massimiliano Allegri and Juventus will debut in the US at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara on July 22, 2023. That first game in California will come against Barcelona, and just 62 kilometres from San Francisco.
Levi's Stadium has close to 70,000 seats packed inside and usually plays host to the San Francisco 49ers of the NFL. Back on February 7, 2016, it hosted the 50th edition of the Super Bowl, and it hosted the WWE's showpiece event - WrestleMania - on March 29, 2015. For WrestleMania, there was a record-breaking attendance in the stadium as 76,976 people filled the arena.
Levi's Stadium also hosted a number of the Copa America Centenario games back in 2016, including the opening match between the USMNT and Colombia.
The 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup final was held there as well.
Dignity Health Sports Park - Carson, Los Angeles County
Dignity Health Sports Park is a 27,000-seat football-use stadium and is located in Carson, California, in Los Angeles County.
It is home to the Los Angeles Galaxy and, from 2005 to 2014, hosted Chivas USA's home fixtures. It also hosted the matches of the Los Angeles Chargers, a professional team in the Nations Football League (NFL) from 2017 to 2019.
Back in 2003, the stadium also hosted the Women's World Cup final, and has also had a number of MLS Cup finals and CONCACAF Gold Cup games played there.
On July 27, an all-Italian tie will take place there as Juventus face AC Milan.
Camping Wold Stadium - Orlando
Moving from west to east and heading to Florida, Camping World Stadium was formerly known by a number of other names, such as: Orlando Stadium, Tangerine Bowl, Florida Citrus Bowl, and Orlando Citrus Bowl Stadium. It is located, as you might be able to tell, in Orlando and is a key part of the city's facilities.
It can fit more than 65,000 spectators, that number can increase to about 70,000 with the addition of temporary seating areas.
At the time of its opening in 1936, the stadium could hold just 9,000 people, and expansions took place in 1952, 1968 and then again between 1974 and 1976, before more work was done in 1989. Later again, at a price of $38 million, the capacity was increased to 65,438.
This will be our last stop on our Summer Tour 2023, and our opponents there will be Real Madrid on August 2.
