For the first time since moving to Barcelona in 2014, Luis Suarez will come face to face with his former side Liverpool on August 6, 2016 at the Wembley Stadium in England. The competition will be hosted in England, the United States, Sweden, Ireland, Australia, China and Scotland.
The pre-season tourney will include other Premier League clubs namely Manchester City, Chelsea, Mancester United, Tottenham Hotspurs and champions Leicester City.
The tournament’s promoter Charlie Stillitano also confirmed that there will be a host of football stars available, except for those who will feature in the Olympics. Therefore, on Barcelona’s side, Neymar could be one of the absentee in their star-studded squad as they prepare to face the Reds. He said:
''The only players who would be missing for either team would be players that are playing in the Olympics. And that would really be it.
''I think both teams should have really full-strength squads.
''I think Neymar has announced that he'd not play in the Copa America Centenario and he's going to play in the Olympics.
''I don't think he would be here for this game on the 30th but his team-mates who are equally important and famous will be here.''
