Fox Soccer Channel will present live exclusive coverage of ‘Match of the Titans’ Between AC Milan and Panathinaikos FC on Friday, August 6 at 6:00 PM ET.
Fox Soccer Channel and Fox Soccer Plus will also have live coverage of the UEFA Champions League, beginning Tuesday, August 17, and serve as the exclusive U.S. television home of Italy’s Serie A, which kicks off its 2010/11 season on Saturday, Aug. 28.
“Match of the Titans” marks the return of international soccer to the Silverdome in Pontiac, Mich. and is the first live sporting event broadcast from the venue since 2002.
AC Milan and Panathinaikos FC travel to the U.S. in preparation for their respective domestic seasons as well as UEFA Champions League competition.
Italian heavyweight AC Milan – winner of more international titles (22) than any other club – finished 3rd in the 2009/10 Serie A season, while Panathinaikos won the Superleague Greece for its 20th Greek championship. The August 6 match will be the first time the two teams have played each other in North America.
The match will be played on natural grass installed for the event. The Silverdome pioneered the use of live grass for indoor soccer as a host venue for the 1994 FIFA World Cup. As a soccer venue, the Silverdome also hosted the Detroit Express of the North American Soccer League.
“We are very pleased to have Fox Soccer Channel bring the Silverdome’s return as a venue for world-class soccer to its viewers,” said Steve Apostolopoulos, director of sports for Silverdome manager Triple Sports & Entertainment. “We’re excited to give soccer fans a preview of two teams that they’ll see soon in UEFA Champions League play on Fox Soccer Channel and Fox Soccer Plus.”
