Premier League stars are coming to Queensland this winter with Aston Villa and Leeds United to play a series of matches along with A-League Men's side Brisbane Roar.
It's the first time an international friendly football tournament will be hosted in the state with Suncorp Stadium (Brisbane), Cbus Super Stadium (Gold Coast) and Queensland Country Bank Stadium (Townsville) to host the three matches across six days.
The main event will be Aston Villa vs. Leeds at Suncorp Stadium, with Brisbane Roar to face the Premier League teams either side of that contest.
