TURIN, Italy -- Juventus has announced it will play three exhibitions in the United States this summer.

The 27-time Italian champions will meet Mexican team Club America on July 26 at Citi Field -- the home of the New York Mets. Details of the other two matches were still being completed.

Juventus says it will base itself in Philadelphia from July 19 to Aug. 1.

The tour will allow newly hired Juventus manager Antonio Conte to familiarize himself with the squad.
