Australia's Perth to host Italian football giants

AC Milan, Inter and Juventus will headline a blockbuster pre‑season tour in Perth this August, bringing two of Italian football’s fiercest rivalries to Australia. Inter, currently leading Serie A, will open the series with a Milan Derby at Optus Stadium on 5 August, marking the Rossoneri’s third straight visit Down Under. The club emphasised the significance of exporting one of world football’s most storied fixtures beyond Italy’s borders.

Three days later, Inter will meet Juventus, who will be making their first‑ever appearance in Australia. The Bianconeri will then remain in Perth to face Serie B side Palermo on 11 August, rounding off a rare triple‑header featuring three of Italy’s most recognisable clubs.

For Australian fans, the tour offers a unique chance to witness elite European football up close, while for the Italian sides it provides a high‑intensity tune‑up ahead of the new season.
