Just days after the FIFA Women's World Cup 2015(TM) crowned the U.S. Women's National Team its champion, and with the CONCACAF Gold Cup underway, FOX Sports' Summer of Soccer continues with the Guinness International Champions Cup. The third annual tournament features many of the most storied and successful soccer clubs from around the world.

FOX, Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports 2 and FOX Soccer Plus are home to all 23 Guinness ICC matches which runs through Wednesday, August 5. The tournament began Saturday, July 11, with Steven Gerrard's debut with the LA Galaxy in a 2-1 win against Club America. Fox Sports also provides comprehensive access to the entire tournament on tablets and mobile devices via the Fox Sports GO app and online at www.FOXSportsGO.com.

Ten teams are participating in this summer's tournament, highlighted by UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE winners FC Barcelona, defending Guinness ICC champions Manchester United and three Major League Soccer franchises, including the MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy. Also competing are Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, FC Porto, Club América, Fiorentina, New York Red Bulls and San Jose Earthquakes.

FOX Sports' Rob Stone, having recently hosted FIFA WOMEN'S WORLD CUP(TM) TODAY and currently anchoring GOLD CUP MATCHDAY programs, hosts Guinness ICC studio coverage when Club América takes on Manchester United on Friday, July 17; a doubleheader on Tuesday, July 21 (Fiorentina-PSG, LA Galaxy-Barcelona); the big Manchester United-Barcelona clash on Saturday, July 25 on local FOX stations; and the two final matchups on Sunday, August 2 and Wednesday, August 5.
