- Published
Manchester City will travel to face fellow City Football Group side Palermo in a pre-season friendly on Saturday, 9 August.
The match will begin the celebrations for the Italian club's 125th year anniversary, with the two clubs competing for the Anglo Palermitan trophy at the Renzo Barbera Stadium in Sicily.
Serie B side Palermo are managed by Filippo Inzaghi - the former Italy striker's brother, Simone, masterminded Al-Hilal's shock last-16 victory over City at the Club World Cup last week.
City players are currently on holiday following the tournament in the United States and are scheduled to return to training on Monday, 28 July.
