These matches will form part of the “Hong Kong Football Festival” at the state-of-the-art Kai Tak Stadium, which boasts a capacity of 50,000 and modern amenities like a retractable roof and air-conditioning.
The festival kicks off with Manchester City squaring off against Inter Milan on August 1. With Pep Guardiola at the helm, fans can expect to see star player Erling Haaland in action, greatly heightening anticipation.
