LOS ANGELES

Inter's first match in the Club World Cup was against the Mexican team Monterrey at the Rose Bowl in LA. It ended in a 1-1, with goals from Ramos and Lautauro. The iconic ground in Pasadena has a capacity of over 92,000 and hosted the 1994 World Cup final between Italy and Brazil, with the Brazilians winning on penalties.

That wasn't Inter's first time playing in Los Angeles, nor was it the Nerazzurri's first match at the Rose Bowl.

In the summer of 2009, Inter, on tour in the United States, faced the UCLA Bruins (University of California team) on 17 July on the university campus. The game ended with a 2-2 draw (goals from Materazzi and Stankovic).

On 22 July, we played in a friendly in Pasadena against Chelsea: 0-2 with goals from Drogba and Lampard, a penalty.

SEATTLE

It will be Inter's first time playing in Seattle. At Lumen Field, a stadium with a capacity for 70,000 spectators that hosts the NFL's Seattle Seahawks and Major League Soccer's Seattle Sounders FC, Chivu's team beat both Urawa Red Diamonds and River Plate. Against the Japanese side, the Nerazzurri secured their first win of the competition, turning it around thanks to Lautaro and Carboni. Then, they best the Argentinian giants by two goals to nil thanks to Francesco Pio Esposito to clinch first place in Group E and make it to the Round of 16, where they will face Fluminense.
