Palermo FC v City: Kick-off time confirmed | OneFootball

The kick-off time for City’s pre-season friendly away at Palermo FC early next month has been confirmed.

Pep Guardiola’s side will travel to the Italian island of Sicily to take on City Football Group (CFG) sister club Palermo FC to contest the inaugural Anglo Palermitan Trophy.

The game will take place at the Renzo Barbera Stadium on Saturday 9 August with kick-off confirmed for 20.00 (UK) / 21.00 (local).

The game will form an important part of City’s preparations ahead of the start of the 2025/26 campaign and will take place just seven days before our first Premier League fixture away to Wolves.

City have been invited to participate in a key milestone of anniversary celebrations for Palermo FC, who this season celebrate 125 years since their inception as the Anglo Palermitan Athletic & Football Club.

The Anglo Palermitan Trophy commemorates the Sicilian club’s maiden fixture against a team of British sailors in 1900.

Further information regarding ticketing and how fans can watch the action will follow in due course.
