Aston Villa is gearing up for the 2024/25 season with a preseason match against Club America as they conclude their United States tour.
After initial wins in Europe, Aston Villa suffered defeats in the U.S. against Columbus Crew and RB Leipzig, prompting manager Unai Emery to assess the team’s performance.
Club America, who recently faced Chelsea in a friendly, are using this match as part of their preseason preparations before the Leagues Cup commences.
Following this fixture, Villa will travel back to Europe for matches against Athletic Club and Borussia Dortmund prior to their Premier League opener against West Ham on August 17.
