FLUSHING, N.Y., June 9, 2011 – The New York Mets today announced Juventus FC, winner of 27 Italian League Championships, will play Club America, one of Mexico’s most popular soccer clubs, at Citi Field Tuesday, July 26 at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets will go on sale Monday, June 13 at 10:00 a.m. online at www.WorldFootballChallenge.com and 507TIXX.com, and by phone at (718) 507-TIXX. Tickets can be purchased in person starting Tuesday, June 14 at 10:00 a.m. at the Jackie Robinson Rotunda ticket windows located at Citi Field. The game will take place rain or shine.
The Juventus-Club America game comes on the heels of Tuesday night’s 1-1 tie between the national teams of Ecuador and Greece in front of a near-sellout crowd of 39,656 for the inaugural soccer match at Citi Field.
The match is part of the Herbalife World Football Challenge, a soccer event featuring some of the biggest and best-known international clubs and teams from Major League Soccer (MLS) competing in nearly a dozen cities across North America from July 13 to August 6.

Club America has a big following. With a large Mexican presence in NYC this should be a sell-out or very close. Met’s have done well with this arrangement. I wonder how many will come for Juventus FC, since this is also one Europe’s better known clubs.
