How to follow City on this summer’s Asia Tour

The Blues returned to the City Football Academy on Monday after a well-earned break following our Carabao Cup and FA Cup triumphs last term.

And it was the start of a new era at the Club with Enzo Maresca overseeing his first session as manager after his appointment in June.

Ahead of the new season, City’s meticulous plans to prepare for the challenges ahead include a summer tour of Asia where we will visit Hong Kong and Seoul.

There, we’ll play Inter, a K-League All Stars XI and Atletico Madrid with all three matches available to watch on CITY+.

And day one of building towards 2026/27 started on Monday in Manchester.
