Chelsea have announced they are set to face Club America and Charlotte FC in addition to Arsenal on their pre-season tour of the United States in July, as they compete in the 2022 FC Series.
The fixtures are confirmed as part of the 'Clash of Nations' tour, which sees a week-long tournament end with a derby against the Gunners in Florida, with the sides hoping to lift the Florida Cup. The Blues previously announced their intention to play two more matches in the build-up to the clash with Arsenal. They are now set to be against Mexico City's Liga MX side, Club America, which will take place in Las Vegas, and the MLS team Charlotte FC at their North Carolina base.
The Blues are also set to spend one week in Los Angeles to complete a training camp at the beginning of their trip. That could be particularly pertinent, providing the takeover led by Todd Boehly is completed, with the US businessman owning a baseball team, the LA Dodgers. However, Chelsea did suggest in their previous announcement that the club will only join, providing new ownership is confirmed.
