Another international soccer game could be played at the Georgia Dome this summer.
A person close to Atlanta’s MLS team said on Friday that they are working on bringing two high-profile European teams to the city in August. They wished to remain anonymous because the negotiations aren’t complete.
The two 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.
Organizers are talking with officials from the Georgia Dome about possible dates.
The Georgia Dome has hosted several international soccer matches, including Mexico vs. Nigeria, attended by more than 60,000, earlier this year.
Last month Arthur Blank and MLS reached an agreement to bring an expansion franchise to the city that will begin play in 2017.
