Maybe for first time in the teams' history, Atlético-MG and Bahia fans will be supporting each other. They’re the two teams representing Brazil at the Florida Cup, and the points earned by both will be added up for the competition against Germany, Argentina and the United States. The nation with the most points in total will be the Florida C winners.
The Brazilian journey in the competition starts next Wednesday, when Atlético-MG faces Bayer Leverkusen. The Germans have already played in the Florida Cup, achieving two points after a penalty shootout win against Estudiantes de La Plata.
On Thursday, Bahia will debut in the competition with a match against Wolfsburg.
