RENTON, Wash. - UEFA Champions League Runners-Up Inter Milan and Argentine powerhouse CA River Plate will both train in Renton during the FIFA Club World Cup.
CA River Plate will join Seattle Sounders FC at the Sounders FC Clubhouse and Training Facility, while Inter Milan will split time between the campus of UCLA in Los Angeles, and the Virginia Mason Athletic Center – the home of the Seattle Seahawks.
FIFA made the announcement on Tuesday as to where the 32 teams participating in the FIFA Club World Cup would train during their time in the United States later this month. Both CA River Plate and Inter Milan have matches scheduled in Seattle. The two teams will square off against each other on June 25 at Lumen Field, while also facing Urawa Red Dragons in matches in Seattle.
Urawa Red Dragons will train at the University of Portland.
The Sounders will be utilizing their training facility for the event as well, but are in a different group than CA River Plate and Inter Milan.
