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.
