AC Milan and Inter Milan Face Off in Perth as Amorim Era Begins
Inter arrive as defending Serie A champions, having recently defeated Manchester City on penalties in Hong Kong.
AC Milan and Inter Milan meet in a preseason friendly in Perth, Australia, as Milan begins its managerial rebuild under Ruben Amorim and Inter continue their title defense preparations. The match takes place at the Optus Stadium on Wednesday, marking an uncommon venue for the traditionally domestic rivalry, which has historically been contested at Milan's San Siro. Both clubs are fine-tuning their squads ahead of the Serie A campaign, with their league seasons launching later in August.
Preparation Paths Diverge
The two Milan clubs arrive in Perth with different trajectories. Inter, the current Scudetto holders, have played two preseason matches, most recently dispatching Manchester City 3-1 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in Hong Kong. Milan, by contrast, have appeared in just one summer fixture—a 2-2 draw against Celtic—as the Rossoneri integrate their new coaching structure under Amorim, who departed Manchester United to lead the historic club through a fresh project.
The Nerazzurri will remain in Western Australia beyond Wednesday's encounter, scheduling a match against Juventus at the same venue on August 8. Milan's stay is brief; the club departs for Jakarta to face Chelsea this Saturday before returning to Europe for a friendly against Amorim's former club, Manchester United, in Poland on August 15. Serie A action begins August 22 for Inter against Monza, with Milan starting their league campaign the following day against Torino.
Broadcasting and Global Fanbase
International streaming coverage is limited for the Perth friendly, though viewers in Italy have multiple options through DAZN, Sky Sport Uno, Sky Go Italia, and NOW TV. In the United States, fuboTV and Fox Sports (offering English and Spanish broadcasts) will carry the match. The game underscores the global reach of Italian football, with Inter hosting a dedicated Meet and Greet in Perth that brought together approximately 50 members from four Australian Inter Clubs alongside a delegation from Indonesian Inter Clubs, creating what organizers described as moments of connection between the team and supporters across continents.
