BAYERN Munich will take on Arsenal in Shanghai on July 19 in the second match of the 2017 International Champions Cup China, organizers announced Tuesday.

    The tournament, which was first held in China in 2015, is expanding its scale and will visit four cities around the country in July.

    The first match will be between AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, on July 18. After the Shanghai match, Bayern will head to Shenzhen to play the third match against Milan on July 22. The last match will be a Milan derby, with AC Milan taking on Inter Milan in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, on July 24.

    The five clubs taking part in this year’s ICC China sent former players as their ambassadors to Shanghai to launch this year’s tournament.

    “It won’t be an easy game,” former Arsenal midfielder Gilberto Silva said.
