ROME (Reuters) - AS Roma have pulled out of this year's International Champions Cup (ICC) pre-season tournament because of their "unforeseen involvement" in the early rounds of Europa League qualifying, the Serie A club said on Wednesday.

Roma's sixth-place finish in Serie A last season meant they missed out on the Champions League and must now take part in the second round of the Europa League qualifiers, which start on July 25 and clash with the ICC.
