Blackburn Rovers have confirmed plans to travel to Australia in July for a pre-season tournament. Rovers will head Down Under for the first time in their history to take part in a prestigious four-team tournament in Sydney.

Sam Allardyce's men will start with a game against Rangers on July 25 and games against Sydney FC and AEK Athens will follow, on July 28 and July 31.

And in a new format to attract attacking football, a bonus point will be awarded for every goal scored.
