International soccer is returning to Detroit.
Comerica Park will host a world-class pre-season match between English Premier League Club, Crystal Palace FC, and LaLiga’s Sevilla FC on Sunday, July 30.
Competing in what is widely regarded as the best league in the world, London-based Crystal Palace will enter their 11th consecutive season in the top-flight of English football next season. The club is currently managed by former England Men’s National Team manager Roy Hodgson and their squad is packed full of international stars such as US Men’s National Team player Chris Richards, England international Marc Guehi, Ghana’s Jordan Ayew and Jeffrey Schlupp, and Denmark’s Joachim Andersen. Palace also have some of the most exciting, young attacking talent in the Premier League in Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise.
Sevilla FC is one of Spain’s big 6 LaLiga clubs and the second oldest club (1890). It has a team full of international stars, such as captain Jesús Navas, Croatian Ivan Rakitić and three players from Argentina‘s FIFA World Cup winning team, Gonzalo Montiel, Marcos Acuña and Papu Gómez. The club has won every possible domestic title (Copa Andalucía, LaLiga, Copa de España and Supercopa de España) and holds the record number of UEFA Europa League trophies (6). This season they eliminated Manchester United in the quarter finals and now face Juventus FC in the semifinals.
This match will mark the return of international football to Comerica Park for the first time in six years. In July 2017, Comerica Park hosted its first-ever soccer match between AS Roma of the Italian Serie A League against Paris Saint-Germain of France’s Ligue 1 in the 2017 International Champions Cup tournament.
