CHICAGO (AP) -- Italy's AS Roma and Poland's Zaglebie Lubin will play a friendly in July at Wrigley Field in the baseball park's first football match since 1984.

The July 22 game will serve as the opening match of AS Roma's United States Tour, with additional stops scheduled for Boston and New York.

Wrigley Field, the Chicago Cubs' home ballpark, last hosted a football match when the then Chicago Sting played the Vancouver Whitecaps.

AS Roma has won three Serie A titles, nine Coppa Italia titles and two Supercoppa Italiana titles.

Zaglebie Lubin competes in Poland's top division, the Ekstraklasa.
