MILAN – On July 21, Inter face Schalke 04 in a pre-season friendly as part of the Summer Tour 2017.
The contest will be held in Changzhou – a city of approximately four million people in the province of Jiangsu – at the Olympic Sports Centre. This 38,000-capacity stadium was built ahead of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
Often used as a venue for concerts and events like the World Electronic Sports Games 2016, the facility is part of a wider complex that includes an indoor arena, swimming pool and exhibition hall.
The whole structure was built to resemble a magnolia leaf, a symbol of the city of Changzhou.
