La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Inter, Juventus, Milan and Palermo will meet in Australia in August for three pre-season friendlies, including the Derby della Madonnina and the Derby d’Italia.

Serie A giants Inter, Milan, and Juventus, along with Serie B side Palermo, will meet in Australia for pre-season friendlies in August.

According to Gazzetta, the plans will be officially confirmed in the coming days, but the schedule has already been determined.

According to the report, the Milan Derby between Inter and Milan will be played at Optus Stadium in Perth on August 5.

Three days later, on August 8, Juventus will take on Inter at the same venue. Milan will continue their pre-season elsewhere and won’t meet the Bianconeri in Australia. On the other hand, on August 11, Juventus will face Palermo, currently coached by Italy legend Filippo Inzaghi.

Plans to play a Serie A match between Milan and Como in Perth this past February fell through, but Italian football will still come to Australia next summer.
