More soccer could come to Dome in August

Another international soccer game could be played at the Georgia Dome this summer.

A person close to MLS Atlanta said Friday that the group is working to bring two high-profile European club teams to the city in August. The teams wished to remain anonymous because the negotiations aren’t complete.

The teams are believed to be among those playing in the International Champions Cup, which will begin in July in New York.

The teams participating in that are Real Madrid, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, A.C. Milan, Inter Milan, Roma and Olympiacos.

MLS Atlanta is talking with officials from the Georgia Dome about possible dates.
