European soccer giants AS Roma and Paris Saint-Germain F.C. will compete in the International Champions Cup at 8 p.m. Wednesday in the first professional soccer match at Comerica Park.

Here are a few things to know for the historic event:

TV: The game will broadcast at 8 p.m. on ESPN2. Internationally, it will broadcast to 170 countries on ESPN channels. It's the first meeting between the teams.

The field: The pitch, as it’s called in soccer, will be oriented with one goal behind the first base bag in foul territory and the other by the bullpens in leftfield. The Roma bench will be closer to first base and the PSG bench closer to leftfield.

Construction of the soccer field will promptly begin Sunday after the Detroit Tigers' series finale with the Toronto Blue Jays. The field is scheduled to be ready on Tuesday, Tigers spokesman Ron Colangelo told the Free Press.

After the game, the grounds crew will replace about 40% of the grass turf at Comerica Park in order to make it baseball ready. The Tigers return home from a seven-game road trip on July 24.

"We were scheduled to replace the entire field after the season," Colangelo said. "We're going to accelerate (the 40%) and then finish the rest of the field after the season."

Roma trivia: AS Roma stands for Associazione Sportiva Roma and competes in Italy’s best league, Serie A (pronounced SE-ri-ah AH). Roma’s odd logo features an illustrated allusion to the founding myth of Rome and shows twins Romulus and Remus, who were suckled by a she-wolf. Top players include midfielder Radja Nainggolan, who scored 15 goals last season. Nainggolan, along with defender Kostas Manolas, reportedly were pursued by Premier League giant Manchester United this summer. Chelsea, also of the Premier League, also had reported interested in Manolas. Forward Edin Dzeko is captain of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team. He played for Manchester City of the Premier League from 2011-15. Roma is expected to arrive in Michigan on Sunday. The team will stay in Ypsilanti and practice at Eastern Michigan's Scicluna Field leading into Wednesday's game.

Paris-Saint Germain: Germain is pronounced ger-MAHN. The club is widely referred to as PSG. It competes in France’s top league, Ligue 1, and is the country’s most popular team, winning four consecutive league titles. Thiago Silva, a central defender, captain's the roster (he's also captained the Brazilian national team), and striker Edinson Cavani, the most expensive signing in French football history (64.5 million euros), is the reigning Ligue 1 player of the year. Also on the roster is former Real Madrid star Angel Di Maria, an attacking midfielder. Di Maria spent four seasons with Real Madrid, helping it win the Champions League in 2014 before signing a lucrative deal Manchester United. He joined PSG in 2015 after one lackluster season. The team, which trains out of Miami, isn't expected in Detroit until late Tuesday.
