San Jose Earthquakes to host Norwich City in summer friendly

San Jose Earthquakes will meet Premier League club Norwich City in a friendly this summer.

The Quakes will host the Canaries at Buck Shaw Stadium on July 20 as part of the Norfolk outfit's preparations for the 2013/14 season.

"We are very happy to host Norwich City for an international friendly this summer," said Earthquakes president Dave Kaval.

"This match is another great opportunity for Bay Area soccer fans to watch a top-notch opponent play against their local club."

It will be the fourth year in a row that San Jose has hosted a Premier League side following on from clashes with Tottenham in 2010, West Bromwich Albion in 2011 and Swansea City last year.

Norwich currently sit 14th on the Premier League table, six points clear of the relegation zone with three matches remaining in threw 2012/13 campaign.
