Juventus, Milan to play Italian Super Cup at Giants Stadium
Saturday June 14, 2003
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) Champions Cup winner AC Milan and
Italian league champion Juventus will play for the Italian Super
Cup at Giants Stadium on Aug. 3.
Juventus won its second straight league title earlier this year.
Milan topped AS Roma in the Italian Cup final.
The game will be a rematch of the Champions Cup final last month
in Manchester, England. Milan won its sixth title in a penalty kick
shootout.
It will be the third time the Super Cup will be played outside
Italy. Milan defeated Torino in Washington in 1993, and Juventus
topped Parma last year in Tripoli, Libya.
Both teams already arranged preseason visits to the United
States, where they will play UEFA Cup finalist Glasgow Celtic,
English champion Manchester United and Spanish power FC Barcelona.
