{{No sources}} [[File:20180610 FIFA Friendly Match Austria vs. Brazil Miranda 850 0051.jpg|thumb|A friendly match played between [[Austria national football team|Austria]] and [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] to prepare for the [[2018 FIFA World Cup]]. ]] An '''exhibition game''' (also known as simply '''exhibition''', or a '''demonstration''' event, a '''friendly,''' a '''preparation match''', a '''warm-up game''') is a [[sports|sporting event]] in which there is no competitive value of any real kind to any competitor (such as tournament or season rankings, or prize money) regardless of the outcome of the competition. The types of matches are usually played before a season so the [[coach (sport)|coach]] can try a new formation or select players from the bench, like in [[Association football]]. Some sports have an [[all-star game]]. This means that the best players are picked from that league and they play against another all-star team or a better team from another [[country]]. These matches are usually friendlies, but have a little more competition. An example is the [[MLS All-Stars]] against [[Real Madrid CF]]. == References == {{reflist}} [[Category:Sports words]] {{sport-stub}}
