Italian giants Juventus and Inter have confirmed that they will take part in the Guinness International Champions Cup, a European-style knockout tournament that will also include Real Madrid.

Organizers plan for the tournament to become an annual event. It'll begin open on July 27. Opening-round games also are planned in the Phoenix area, San Francisco and Indianapolis, with the semifinals in the New York and Los Angeles areas Aug. 3-4.

The final four games in Miami will determine the champion and third, fifth and seventh place.

The Final is scheduled for August 7 at the Sun Life Stadium in South Florida.

ESPN FC reports that that the tournament already has a title sponsor and that television coverage is planned for 151 countries.

If you're an American and a fan of the beautiful game, this should be great news.
