Salt Lake City:
Real Madrid will play Real Salt Lake, the Major League Soccer team named after the Spanish powerhouse, in a friendly at Rice-Eccles Stadium on August 12. The announcement was made by Dave Checketts, the owner of Real Salt Lake, a second-year MLS side. The clubs share a name, which means "royal" in Spanish, and have the same colours, complete with crowns on top of the team emblem. The Reals are working on a partnership, which Checketts said could lead to things such as youth soccer academies and joint training for player development. The match will be Real Madrid's only US match. (AP)Topics mentioned in this article
