TORONTO (CP) -- Portugal's Benfica and England's Aston Villa will play exhibition games against Toronto FC at BMO Field, the expansion MLS side announced Monday.

Lisbon-based Benfica will play Toronto on May 23 while Birmingham-based Aston Villa will visit July 25.

Benfica, third in the Portuguese league with a 18-3-7 record. Villa stands 11th in the Premier League at 11-10-16.

"Toronto FC is committed to bringing in quality international teams, and we know both Villa, and Benfica fit that bill," Paul Beirne, Toronto FC's director of operations, said in a statement.

Both games will be on wednesdays.
Should be interesting to see, but don't expect to see Aston Villas or Benficas top players cause I doubt that will happen. If they did, then expect to see Toronto FC lose miserably.

awesome!

interested in seeing Benfica playing.

I'm sorta a closet Benfica fan, as I would never ever say this to family members. Raised in a prodiminant portuguese neighbourhood downtown, my earliest memories were watching games at the local bars with my friends dads. *as they were getting juiced*

Forza AC Milan, btw!
