NEW YORK: LaLiga Summer Tour, the top Spanish professional league’s platform to organize tours in the summer window, will bring four teams – Atlético de Madrid, Sevilla FC, Real Betis Balompié, and Real Sociedad – to North America for four friendly matches this summer.

To kick off the tour, Atlético de Madrid will take on Real Sociedad at the Estadio BBVA in Monterrey, Mexico on Wednesday, August 2nd, while Sevilla FC will face Real Betis in a derby rivalry fixture at the Estadio Akron in Guadalajara, Mexico.
