AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Juventus have confirmed their participation in a series of preseason matches in Perth this August.
This marks the third consecutive year that AC Milan will hold a preseason game in Perth.
The matches are set for August 5, 8, and 11.
Perth is poised to become a hub for Italian preseason football this August, welcoming some of the most prominent clubs as they prepare for the upcoming European season.
Alongside AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Juventus, Palermo, a team competing in Serie B, will also take part in the matches.
AC Milan will kick off the series by facing their traditional rivals, Inter, in the inaugural match at Perth Stadium on Wednesday, August 5.
This will be AC Milan’s third year playing in Perth, having previously faced AS Roma last year and the A-League Men’s team Perth Glory in 2024.
Inter will be making their debut in Australia and will remain for a second match against Juventus on Saturday, August 8.
Juventus supporters will have another opportunity to see their team compete when they take on Palermo on Tuesday, August 11.
The scheduled fixtures further solidify Perth’s ties with Italian football, following previous matches featuring AC Milan in 2024 and 2025.
Perth Stadium was originally intended to host a Serie A match between AC Milan and Como in February.
Due to the overlap with the Winter Olympic Games, AC Milan had to relocate this match from their home ground, San Siro.
While both the Western Australian government and Serie A were supportive of the match taking place in Perth, they cited “onerous conditions from the Asian Football Confederation” as the reason it could not be officially sanctioned.
