At the end of July, the English Premier League was exported to the United States for the first English Premier League Summer Series in history. Six English clubs will face each other in the United States in preparation for next season.
What teams will be in the Premier League?
Six PL clubs are invited to this preparatory tournament. These are Chelsea, Brighton, Aston Villa, Brentford, Fulham and Newcastle. The Blues bring star power and the assurance of seeing a great historic club in England. However, it is the lowest ranked team in the last tournament. The other five teams head to the coin counters to watch and head to the US to expand their brands and find a new audience. They made an impression in the UK, and now the event will be very different from a marketing point of view in a country where football or ‘soccer’ is booming as they say, as evidenced by the arrival of Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets at Inter Miami.
