TLA Worldwide plc (AIM: TLA), a leading athlete representation
and sports marketing business, is pleased to announce it is
bringing football giants Brazil and Argentina to Melbourne,
Australia, as part of the Chevrolet Brazil Global Tour, a tour that
sees the Brazilian national team compete against the greatest
footballing nations across the globe.
The game will be played on Friday 9 June 2017, and Brazil and
Argentina are committed to bringing their best available talent to
Australia for the match. The event is due to be held at the iconic
Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), a 100,000 capacity venue, which is
situated in the centre of the city and has previously been home to
big football matches and other sporting spectacles such as the 2006
Commonwealth Games, the annual AFL Grand Final, the ICC 2015
Cricket World Cup final and the Melbourne Olympics.
As well as Messi and Neymar Jr, fans can look forward to seeing
Brazilian stars Dani Alves, David Luis, Fernandinho, Philippe
Coutinho and Willian and Argentinian star players Sergio Aguero,
Javier Mascherano, Angel Di Maria, Pablo Zabaleta, and Gonzalo
Higuain.
Argentina manager, Edgardo Bauza, said: "There is 100 years of
rivalry between Argentina and Brazil. These matches are always
special. We look forward to meeting in Melbourne. Our priority is
to prepare for the important World Cup qualifiers coming up in 2017
and this match and the camp will be extremely valuable."
TLA Worldwide Chairman, Bart Campbell, said: "We are thrilled to
once again bring another world-class sporting spectacle to
Melbourne. Whether you are a football purist or a major event fan,
the Chevrolet Brazil Global Tour is truly a must-see event in 2017.
TLA's events business is gaining momentum and we are building a
pipeline of high quality sporting events for 2017 and onwards. We
are looking forward to making more announcements in the coming
weeks."
TLA has partnered with TEG Live (TEG) to organise and promote
the event. The game follows a string of high profile events held by
the two companies, including the 2016 College Football Sydney Cup
between the University of Hawaii and University of California,
Berkeley, as well as the 2015 and 2016 International Champions Cup
Australia which brought some of the world's best football teams to
Melbourne, such as Real Madrid, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur
and Juventus.
