The teams involved cannot all play each other as it isn't practical for each club's pre-season commitments. Manchester United will only play one game as part of the Soccer Champions Tour, while others will face more opponents.

Real and Barca look like the headliners of the tournament, playing four Games each, more than anyone else.

The major fixture is El Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid in Texas, but Juventus vs AC Milan in a new setting will be interesting and there is always a certain allure about Real Madrid vs Man Utd.

This tournament was created by Sixth Street and there is a stated aim of spreading it to the women's Game in the future.

"We are proud to be partnering with the world's most storied clubs, which have the world's strongest and most passionate supporters, to provide this rare opportunity for American fans to experience the game at the highest level," said Alan Waxman, co-founder and CEO at Sixth Street.

"While this year's tour consists of men's clubs, we look forward to expanding next summer to bring the world's best women's clubs to local audiences around the globe, and in the future to evolve this series into a format with real games of consequence."
