For the first time ever, RB Leipzig will conduct a preseason tour of the United States.
The Bundesliga side has announced a two-game tour of the United States, marking the first time it has held its preseason outside of Europe.
RB Leipzig will set up camp in New Jersey at the academy of its sister team, the New York Red Bulls.
“This will be our first preseason outside of Europe, and with the USA we decided to go to a key target market for our club,” said general manager Johann Plenge. “RB Leipzig excites soccer fans both domestically and internationally with its unique story, which has taken us from the fifth division to the Champions League.”
The club has already announced a friendly against Aston Villa at Red Bull Arena, with one further match yet to be confirmed.
