Leeds United vs AC Milan: Date, time, and ticket prices confirmed for Aviva Stadium friendly
Leeds United will take on Italian giants AC Milan at the Aviva Stadium this summer.
Kick-off in Dublin is at 3pm on Saturday, August 9, and the vast majority of the Aviva's 51,700 capacity is expected to be taken up by the strong Irish Leeds fanbase. United will face seven-time European champions AC Milan for the first time in nearly 24 years. Leeds have played three competitive games against the Serie A club, the last of which was in November 2000 in the Champions League.
However, arguably the most memorable match was their maiden meeting in the 1973 UEFA European Cup Winners' Cup final, which ended in a 1-0 win for Milan in controversial circumstances. Irish Leeds legend Gary Kelly has welcomed the organising of the fixture, saying: "I have great memories of the last time we played Milan, captaining the side against them in the Champions League.
"Obviously as a proud Irishman I am delighted this fixture is coming to Dublin, which I know the locals will welcome, packing out the Aviva Stadium and creating a great atmosphere.' United managing director Robbie Evans added: "We are delighted to head to Dublin to play a prestigious opponent in a world-class venue. We have a fantastic following across Ireland, with many supporters regularly making the commute to Elland Road."
Tickets will start at €35 for adults and €20 for under-16s, and can be purchased here on Ticketmaster.
