El Clásico Miami will mark the first match between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid C.F. to take place in North America.

Real Madrid C.F. will be making a record fifth appearance in the ICC, having played in every year of the tournament’s history. Real Madrid C.F. returns to Miami for a second time as part of the ICC after defeating Chelsea F.C. to win the inaugural tournament in 2013 in front of a crowd of 67,273 attendees, one of the largest for a soccer match in Hard Rock Stadium’s history. They also were crowned champions of the first-ever ICC China and ICC Australia, which took place in 2015. 

 

El Clásico Miami will be held at the newly renovated Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla., and the first soccer event to take place since the stadium’s latest renovations. Hard Rock Stadium returns as a venue for the ICC after hosting the championship match in the first two years of the tournament. The renovations to Hard Rock Stadium have made it possible to host the highest caliber of soccer competition while serving as the home of the Miami Dolphins. 

 

Relevent Sports also has partnered with Combate Americas to produce “Combate Clasico,” a spectacular, world-class Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) live television event taking place in Miami on Thursday, July 27. In the main event of a 10-bout affair at Mana Wynwood, the two premier, pound-for-pound fighters from rival cities in Spain – Abner “Skullman” Lloveras (20-9-1) of Barcelona and Javier Fuentes (9-4) of Madrid – will face off two days before El Clásico Miami.

 

NextVR, the leader in live events in virtual reality, will broadcast El Clásico live in VR for the first time.

Multiple cameras positioned along the pitch and throughout Hard Rock Stadium will transport fans into an immersive soccer experience.
