History

Historical Context

The International Champions Cup, launched by Relevent Sports Group in 2013 (the firm founded in 2012 by Stephen Ross and Matt Higgins), turned European clubs’ preseason tours into events. A 2014 Michigan Stadium match attracted 109,318 fans, proving Asian and North American markets could earn TV contracts. That model underlies 2026 Jakarta Super Cup, streaming Chelsea vs AC Milan on CBS Sports Network, Paramount+ and FanCode.
