The 2016 International Champions Cup (or ICC) was a series of friendly association football tournaments that began on 22 July and ended on 13 August 2016.[2][3]
In December 2015, Juventus, Tottenham Hotspur and Melbourne Victory were confirmed to play in the Australian version of the tournament.[3] Atlético Madrid were confirmed as the fourth team on 1 March.[4] Melbourne Victory was the first team from the Asian Football Confederation to compete in the International Champions Cup.
