Two of Europe’s oldest and most successful professional soccer clubs will meet for the first time in North America when AC Milan and Panathinaikos FC play at the Silverdome.

Italian Serie A club AC Milan and Super League Greece club Panathinaikos FC are among the world’s top professional teams and consistently compete for the championship of their national leagues. Both teams will be bringing their top players and playing the match in preparation for Europe’s top-level UEFA Champions League competition that begins later in August.

A total of 17 players between the two teams will have competed for their national teams at the FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa, including players for Brazil, France, Ghana, Greece, Holland, Hungary, Italy and the United States. Three members of AC Milan won the World Cup with Italy in 2006, and other notable players will include Ronaldinho, who won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002 and was twice FIFA’s World Player of the Year and Alexandre Pato, who was the Italian Serie A league’s Young Player of the Year last year.

The event, dubbed the “Match of the Titans,” will be played on a natural grass surface that will be installed in the Silverdome for the event.
