Despite calls to move the Italian Super Cup Milan–Inter match to San Siro, it looks as if it will be hosted in Beijing.
The game kicks off the Italian football season on August 6 and is between Scudetto winners Milan and Coppa Italia holders Inter.
Considering this is a local derby and the Copa America will make many of their stars already face international travel, the two clubs had requested a move to San Siro.

“There are a series of mechanisms we need to look over, but I believe we are going towards confirmation of the date and venue in Beijing,” said Lega Serie A President Maurizio Beretta today.
The Super Cup should be played at the Birds' Nest Stadium.
