MILAN - FC Internazionale Milano has announced that it will hold a joint training session with sister club D.C. United from 17:00 local time (23:00 CET) on Thursday 31 July at RFK Stadium. The practice will be open to the public, with special opportunities to meet players and get autographs available for D.C. United season ticket holders.
Inter are currently preparing for Europa League competition and the 2014/15 Serie A campaign. The club's 2014 US tour squad includes playmaker Mateo Kovacic, who represented Croatia in the 2014 FIFA World Cup, veteran Serbian centre-back Nemanja Vidic and Argentine forward Mauro Icardi.
D.C. United reached the midway point of the 2014 MLS season in first place in the Eastern Conference. Argentine forward Fabián Espíndola (7 goals, 8 assists) is one of three players among league leaders in both scoring and assists. US national team goalkeeper Bill Hamid and centre-back Bobby Boswell lead a defence that is among the league best in goals conceded per game.
Inter have selected Washington, D.C., as their training base for participation in the Guinness International Champions Cup. The Nerazzurri will play three matches in Group A, which also includes Real Madrid, Manchester United and Roma:
26 July vs. Real Madrid at California Memorial Stadium, in Berkeley, Calif.
29 July vs. Manchester United at FedExField in Landover, Md.
2 August vs. Roma at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pa.
Group B includes Manchester City, Liverpool, AC Milan and Olympiacos. A final between group winners will take place on 4 August at Sun Life Stadium in Miami, Fla.
