City to start pre-season in Spain

City will return to Spain as part of preparations for the 2024/25 season.

The Imps will spend the second week of July in Murcia for a camp which will include a friendly against Sky Bet Championship side Preston North End. 
 
This will be City’s opening game of pre-season and will take place at the Pinatar Arena in San Pedro del Pinatar at 11am CET (10am BST) on Friday 12 July. 
 
The Imps will confirm ticket prices as well as engagement opportunities during the week in due course.
 
City will return to the United Kingdom after that match, with a number of further fixtures and an open day at the LNER Stadium leading up to the opening of the new campaign. 
 
This is the second time City have spent pre-season out in Spain, after completing a week there last summer which included a friendly against Stockport County.
