AC Milan, Inter and Juventus have said they will play friendly pre-season matches in August at Perth Stadium. Earlier plans to hold an Italian league match in Australia were cancelled last year.
Serie A had discussed holding a match between AC Milan and Como in Perth in February, but the idea was cancelled in December because of rules set by the Asian Football Confederation.
If it had gone ahead, it would have been the first time a major European domestic league match was played outside its home country.
AC Milan will play Inter Milan on 5 August. Inter will then play Juventus three days later, and Juventus will face Serie B club Palermo on 11 August.
Western Australia’s Tourism Minister, Reece Whitby, said the matches will help attract visitors and support the local economy.
He said major sporting events help tourism, create jobs, support businesses, and strengthen Western Australia’s economy.
