Manchester City to travel to Hong Kong as part of 2026/27 preseason tour

We’ll face Italian giants Inter at the Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong this August in our first game as part of preparations for the 2026/27 season.

It’s our first time back to Hong Kong since 2019, but we have been to Asia in the meantime; most notably visiting Japan and South Korea in 2023 as well as winning the FIFA Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia later that year.

Wright-Phillips has been in Hong Kong this week to help announce the game, which will be part of the Hong Kong Football Festival presented by Asahi Super Dry.

“I’ve been part of a number of the Club’s visits to Asia before and it’s exciting that we are returning this summer and I’m sure it’ll be a fantastic fixture against Inter Milan.”
