J-League champions Vissel Kobe will play Tottenham Hotspur in a July 27 international club friendly at Tokyo's National Stadium, the league announced Thursday.
Kobe, who won their first top-division title last year, will take on the English Premier League side managed by Australian Ange Postecoglou, who previously was in charge of J-League side Yokohama F Marinos.
The J-League said more matchups in its "World Challenge" series involving overseas clubs are to be announced in due course.
