The Round of 16 and quarter-finals will take place on Saturday 8th June, the semi-finals will be on Sunday 9th June and the final, with a prize of a million dollars, will be on Monday 10th June.
Villarreal will be captained by Marcos Senna, with legendary striker Giuseppe Rossi also part of the squad. More players will be confirmed in the coming weeks, both Villarreal CF legends and players from the Yellows’ academies around the world.
Italian side Como 1907 reached the quarter-finals in TST 2023, with a team coached by Cesc Fàbregas and including TST Golden Boot winner Patrick Cutrone. NCFC will be returning to TST to play again at their home stadium, the WakeMedSoccer Park. It is US-based City Soccer Society’s first appearance in the tournament, like Villarreal.
