AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus to play matches in Perth

Perth will be the centre of Italian preseason football in August, with some of the game's heavyweights heading to the Western Australian capital ahead of the next European season.

AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus will all compete in Perth across several matches, as well as Palermo who currently play in the second division, Serie B.

AC Milan will face its arch rivals Inter in the first of three matches to be held at Perth Stadium, scheduled for Wednesday, August 5.

This is the third consecutive year AC Milan has played a match in Perth, after the Rossoneri faced fellow Italians AS Roma last year, and A-League Men's side Perth Glory in 2024.

It will be the first time Inter has played in Australia, and they will stay for a second match, facing Juventus on Saturday, August 8.

Juventus fans will also get a second chance to see their club in action when they face Palermo on Tuesday, August 11.

The fixtures grow Perth's connection with Italian football, after hosting AC Milan in 2024 and 2025.

Perth Stadium had been slated to host a proper Serie A contest between AC Milan and Como in February.

AC Milan needed to move the match away from their home stadium, the San Siro, due to the Winter Olympic Games on at the same time.
