Spanish leaders Real and Italian winners Juventus will undoubtedly be joined by Inter Milan and Major League Soccer's LA Galaxy, match coordinators said on Tuesday. The United States is now a leading destination for European groups to enjoy rewarding pre-season pleasant travels nevertheless the eight-team competition, which is held at venues around the world, promises to include a competitive advantage. RSE Ventures, headed by billionaire Stephen Ross, also manager of the NFL's Miami Dolphins, say the competition may vary from traditional pre-season friendlies by employing a knock-out structure and giving significant prize money. Seven-times European champions AC Milan, Turkish team Galatasaray and two leading Premier League clubs are understood to be in talks aimed at joining the tournament. A television offer has been struck with Fox Soccer Channel in the Usa with worldwide transmission deals expected. "What is significantly diffent is that is just a real competition. Certainly before we've had friendly fits and some have been very successful," Charlie Stillitano, leader of Relevant Sports, RSE's soccer team, told Reuters. "We want to bring a bit of that Champions League wonder to pre-season. We realize it's not the Champions League but administrators have told us they could not undergo pre-season playing games which means that nothing." True Madrid's director of institutional relationships, Emilio Butragueno, said the format would promote the Spanish club's people. "Playing for Real Madrid means, in any case, you've to gain every match but playing a match will probably give the players some thing extra," he said. Full details of the participating teams and settings are required by the following month but the final is going to be held in Miami, at the Dolphins' Sun Life Stadium, in early August.
