The match, which will be televised live on Fox Soccer Channel (FSC) with Brian Dunseth and Christopher Sullivan calling the action, is the second major international club side to take on the Red Bulls at their brand new arena and the first European side to take the pitch in the Harrison, NJ facility.

The Juventus match takes place one day after the first international friendly at Red Bull Arena, featuring Turkey and the Czech Republic. Fans that attend the Turkey vs. Czech Republic match are invited to stay after the match to watch the UEFA Champions League Final on Fox Sports between Inter Milan and Bayern Munich on the arena’s high definitions scoreboards.
