Man City And Tottenham Reveal New York Dates As Part Of US Tour
Only one club will be competing in the Champions League next season, but it seems both Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City will be heading to New York as part of their preparations for the new campaign.
Having already revealed their intention to tour the United States, the two Premier League clubs announced on Wednesday that as part of their respective pre-season tours they will take part in a four-day tournament from July 21 to 25 in the Big Apple with hosts New York Red Bulls and Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon.
Both sides are scheduled to play two games as part of the 'New York Football Challenge', which will all take place at Red Bull Arena.
Despite uncertainty over his long-term future at Eastlands, Roberto Mancini is looking forward to the games as perfect preparation for the 2010-11 season.
“We have big ambitions for the Premier League next season, and this tournament will give us the perfect opportunity to prepare for our season with some highly competitive games, enthusiastic supporters and world class facilities," Mancini said on his club's official website.
“It will be fantastic for us to visit the United States, and especially for us to visit New York during our tour of the East Coast."
Exact details of the dates of individual fixtures will be released "in due course", according to the club.
