Stoke have confirmed they will play Real Madrid in a pre-season friendly. The Potters will face the Spanish giants on 27 July in Irdning, as part of their pre-season build-up in Austria.
Arrangements had been made with previous Real boss Fabio Capello, but new manager Bernd Schuster confirmed the fixture.
Boss Tony Pulis told Stoke's website: "I'm delighted we're playing one of the biggest club sides in the world."
