“We are proud to bring these three historic Premier League teams to the U.S. for The Stateside Cup,” said Elite Promotions Cofounder Raymond Farrelly. “This will be a true tournament, with a winner crowned following the three-game series, so competition will be fierce.”

Crystal Palace is no stranger to the United States, having played matches in Chicago and Detroit last year. Wolves, on the other hand, have a rich history in the States, having competed in the first major U.S. soccer league back in 1967.
