Chelsea will take on Carlo Ancelotti's Paris Saint Germain in New York this summer.
The game, which takes place on July 22, will be the first football match played at the new Yankee Stadium and will be the first time Ancelotti has faced the club he won the double with.

"Chelsea Football Club is delighted to be heading to New York after such a long time away, and it will be a real pleasure to visit Yankee Stadium for what is sure to be a competitive game.
