2011 World Football Challenge
The 2011 World Football Challenge was the second World Football Challenge event, a series of friendly association football matches played in Canada and the United States in July and August.
The 2011 tournament increased in scale from the 2009 incarnation, bringing in thirteen teams from seven countries. All the teams were either members of the UEFA or CONCACAF confederations. The field was highlighted by Spanish league and European champions Barcelona and English champion Manchester United. América was the only team that returned from the 2009 competition.
This tournament for the first time also included five teams from Major League Soccer, the top-flight league for the host countries, Canada and United States. As another first, there were games played outside the United States, at Empire Field in Vancouver, British Columbia and BMO Field in Toronto, Ontario (both in Canada).
North American clubs that competed in 2011 included Chicago Fire, Guadalajara, América, Los Angeles Galaxy, New England Revolution, Philadelphia Union, and Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Four representatives from Europe's top leagues of England and Spain, all of whom won their country's blue ribbon competitions in the 2010–11 season joined the North American clubs, those being: Spanish and European champions Barcelona, FA Cup winners Manchester City, Premier League champions Manchester United and Copa del Rey winners Real Madrid.
The event rules differed considerably from the 2009 event, due to differences in the number of teams.
