Paris Saint-Germain will return to Japan this summer for a preseason tour featuring exhibition matches in Osaka and Tokyo, the French top-flight side announced Friday.
The summer friendlies will also involve Italian Serie A team Inter Milan, finalists in this year's Champions League, and Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr FC, home to Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
PSG is to play Al-Nassr at Osaka's Yanmar Stadium on July 25 before meeting J-League side Cerezo Osaka at the same venue three days later.
Yanmar Stadium will also host Inter against Al-Nassr on July 27, while PSG will face Inter at Tokyo's National Stadium on Aug. 1.
The French club played exhibition games against three J-League sides around Japan last summer, winning all three.
The 2023 summer tour will run from 22 July to 2 August

Organizers plan to offer premium ticket packages for the tour priced at 300 million yen ($2.16 million). The details of the packages and release dates have yet to be announced.
