Chelsea’s third fixture of our summer tour of the USA takes us to Georgia to play Club America – and you can expect the good times to roll…

Anybody who attended our pre-season friendly against Newcastle United in Atlanta last summer, or who has been present at any of our three previous games with Club America, knows what to expect: a party!

Atlanta loves its football. Their MLS team Atlanta United play their home games at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium - where we will take on Club America on Wednesday 31 July - and average nearly 50,000 spectators.

Remarkably, that is the second-highest figure across both North and South America. Only Flamengo in Brazil average more spectators per home game.

The fans make a racket, helped by the fantastic acoustics inside the futuristic Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which opened in 2017 and has an eye-catching retractable roof and exterior design.

Our Chelsea in America supporters groups will no doubt be in fine voice, led by the Georgia Blues, and if our previous games against Club America are anything to go by, we can expect the Mexican supporters to travel in their numbers.

It has been a carnival atmosphere on each of the three prior occasions we have taken on the Mexico City giants, boosted by the expat community.
