Juventus to play in 2018 MLS All-Star Game
22.03.2018 16:15 - in: The team
Juventus will be heading to the United States this summer to be the
opponent for Major League Soccer’s annual All-Star Game set for 1 August
in Atlanta, Georgia.
這個夏天Juventus將前往美國，08月01日在喬治亞州的亞特蘭大踢一年一度的美國
足球大聯盟明星賽。

With prior opponents like Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester United,
Chelsea and Arsenal, the MLS All-Star game is one of the biggest events
of the summer and this will be Juve’s first time to take part.
“We are happy to represent European football in this year’s MLS
All-Star Game,” said President Andrea Agnelli. “It’s an opportunity to
get closer to the passionate American soccer fans. For many years,
Juventus has considered the United States and Canada as a crucial market
for growing our presence as shown by the opening of our new academies and
our digital strategy that has greatly expanded the possibility to connect
with fans on this continent. The first team and the game, however, will
be the main show that Juventus offers and we are proud to be in Atlanta.”
Last year, in front of a sold-out crowd of over 61,000 at Soldier Field
in Chicago, the MLS All-Stars featuring internationally-known players
like Sebastian Giovinco, David Villa, Kaka and Bastian Schweinsteiger, as
well as U.S. National Team players like Tim Howard, Michael Bradley and
Jozy Altidore battled Real Madrid to a 1-1 draw before falling on penalty
kicks.
“It will be a pleasure for us to play in this game and feel the energy
of MLS, an ever-growing league attracting more and more passionate fans,”
said Manager Massimiliano Allegri. “It will also be a great chance for
the many Juventus supporters in North America to see their team and
favorite players.”
The stage will be one of the biggest in American sports at the brand-new
Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Having opened in August 2017, the stadium that
cost more than $1.5 billion to build is set to host Super Bowl LIII in
February 2019 and has already hosted numerous collegiate American
football games including the 2018 BCS National Championship game.
However, it’s not just American football that has filled the stadium as
the other football has captured the hearts of the locals through Atlanta
United. The team, which launched for the 2017 MLS season, has set the MLS
single-game attendance record twice with 72,035 attending their match on
11 March against D.C. United. They also broke the single-season MLS
attendance record in their inaugural campaign averaging over 48,000 fans.
“We welcome Juventus -- one of the world’s iconic clubs -- as our
opponent for the 2018 MLS All-Star Game presented by Target,” said MLS
Commissioner Don Garber. "Our midseason showcase annually attracts the
most prominent clubs in global soccer, and this year our All-Stars will
face one of the sport’s most historically successful teams. And we can’
t think of a better city to host the game than in Atlanta, which due to
the incredible success and popularity of Atlanta United, has rapidly
captured the attention of the entire soccer world.”
In addition to the match, MLS will host a week of events in Atlanta
surrounding the game, including concerts, community service initiatives
and player appearances.
