AC MILAN WOMEN TO TRAVEL TO MEXICO FOR HER NATIONS TOUR

Between 9-16 June, AC Milan Women will play two friendlies in Monterrey and Pachuca for the first post-season tour in its history

AC Milan is pleased to announce the participation of the Women's First Team in the Her Nations Tour friendly tournament, which will take place in Mexico from 9 June to 16 June. The journey to North America will mark the first post-season tour in the history of AC Milan Women and will officially conclude the 2023/24 football season for the team.

Her Nations Tour is a new tournament that will see three football clubs - AC Milan, Club Rayadas de Monterrey and Tuzas de Pachuca - compete in a series of friendly matches in Mexico. In addition to representing high-level sporting competition for the teams involved, the tournament also aims to promote the growth of women's football globally, with the goal of realizing its full potential through the power of women's players worldwide, as best expressed in the tournament's official motto, "This is Her Sport, this is Her Tour – it's time to change the game."

The tournament will also be an important opportunity to promote values ​​such as inclusion and equality in the international football landscape - values ​​that have always been shared by the AC Milan family and further concretized through the creation of the Women's First Team in 2018.

With participation in the Her Nations Tour, AC Milan Women will return to the American continent after having already competed in August 2022 in the Women's Cup in Louisville, United States – a tournament that ended for the Rossonere with the Third-Place Final lost to Club America.

This tour will therefore be a new opportunity for AC Milan to enhance its women's team, creating new opportunities for growth from a sporting and international visibility perspective, in a country that demonstrates great passion for the red and black colours. Specifically, AC Milan boasts approximately 23.7 million Rossoneri fans in the country, with 1.9 million followers on the Club's official social media.

The tour featuring AC Milan Women will include a series of high-profile matches against some of the best clubs in Mexico. Tickets to attend AC Milan v Club Rayadas are on sale on the Ticketmaster website, while tickets for AC Milan v Tuzas de Pachuca are available on the Boletomovil website. More information on how to purchase tickets is available on the official Her Nations Tour website.

Elisabet Spina, Head of Women's Football at AC Milan, said: "I am delighted to see our First Team join this incredible adventure as the first-ever Italian women’s team to play friendlies in Mexico, and I am confident that the Her Nations Tour will offer an excellent opportunity to celebrate women's football, contributing to its growth and highlighting its global impact."

Following are the details of the two friendly matches that AC Milan Women will play in Mexico:

Wednesday, June 12, 2024 - vs Club Rayadas de Monterrey in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon
The first match on Mexican soil will see the Rossonere face Club Rayadas de Monterrey on Wednesday, 12 June at the BBVA Stadium, the new stadium in Monterrey with 50,000 seats.

Saturday, June 15, 2024 - vs Tuzas de Pachuca in Pachuca, Hidalgo
Davide Corti's team will then fly to Pachuca for the second match of the friendly tournament, which will take place on Saturday, 15 June at the Hidalgo Stadium, when the team will take the field against Tudos de Pachuca.

The presence of AC Milan Women in a strategic territory like the American continent will offer the Club an additional opportunity to continue its growth path and strengthen the positive perception of its brand internationally.
