Juventus and Tottenham will play matches in Melbourne in July as part of the International Champions Cup.
Tournament officials on Friday said the Italian and English clubs will play the 2014/15 A-League champion Melbourne Victory and a fourth visiting club to be announced next year.
The Victory are the first A-League club to compete in the tournament and will play Juventus in the opener on July 23.

Juventus and Tottenham recently played in Sydney, with Juventus beating the A-League All-Stars 3-2 in August 2014 and Tottenham defeating Sydney FC 1-0 in May.
The visit is Spurs’ fourth to Australia, following previous trips in 1976 and 1985, as well as May’s post-season tour.
Over 71,000 fans packed into the ANZ Stadium to see the victory against Sydney FC.
Head Coach Mauricio Pochettino told the club’s website: ‘We are excited to be returning to Australia after sharing such great memories from our trip to Sydney last summer.

‘We were all amazed at the level of support our club has on the other side of the world and to see more than 70,000 fans watch us play against Sydney FC was a great experience for everyone.
‘We look forward to returning in July and giving more of our fans the opportunity to see the team play up close as we prepare for another hugely competitive season.
‘We also look forward to thanking our Australian fans for their support throughout the season despite the huge time difference.
