Pre-season Real Madrid 2009

We know the timing of the Liga for the 2009-2010 season, but will not have to wait that long to see the Transfer of Real Madrid in action. The preseason has already started.

No more holidays for the players. From day 13 to 22 July the members of Real Madrid will go to Dublin where they will play a friendly, though not yet confirmed the date or the teams. Then return to Spain and participate in the Peace Cup, an unofficial torneno risking coming since 2003 and which will see the fitness of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Benzema and Albiol, for now the meringue signings.

The Peace Cup 2009 will be played between Andalusia and Madrid from 24 July to 2 August. Four groups of 3 teams each and will spend the first of each group to make the semifinals. These are the teams:

Sevilla, Juventus, Seongam (South Korea), Real Madrid, Liga U. Quito (Ecuador), Al-lttihad (A. Arabia), Malaga, Aston Villa, Atlante FC (Mexico), Lyon, Besiktas and Porto.

After this tournament, Real Madrid will head to Canada where day 7 will play a friendly match, dropping then to Washington. Canada will face Toronto FC, where presumably players Florentino Perez be filled with T-shirts with his name, and the United States will play a friendly against DC United.

The preseason is still open, so we still have to take into account changes that may occur, although the travel and the Peace Cup are confirmed. Back from U.S. (the party on the 9th), Real Madrid played more games in Spain before the start of the Liga, on 29 and 30 August.
