The California Golden Bears and Hawaii Warriors arrived in Australia on Sunday, five days ahead of the teams' Aug. 26 opener at Sydney's ANZ Stadium.



Both teams' official Twitter accounts shared photos of the teams' arrival:



The international clash between the Golden Bears and Warriors will be the first FBS game of the season and it's being dubbed as the "College Football Sydney Cup." It'll be the first American football game in Australia since 1999, and the country's first college football game since 1987. The two teams will compete in ANZ Stadium, which was originally built for the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The game can be seen live on Friday evening at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN.
