City will visit the USA this month to kick-off the pre-season tour. The Premier League trophy will be on display in Beijing and then at the club’s opening home fixture against Ipswich Town on August 24 before the tour sets off to various locations around the world including Tokyo, Delhi, Abu Dhabi, Sao Paulo, Toronto and Chicago.

The tour will include exclusive fan events, match screenings and a unique experience recreating the men’s first team’s ‘Boot Room’ at the City Football Academy (CFA) that will host the Premier League Trophy alongside a wall of Puma boots.

The club will also take the trophy on the road for City’s European away fixtures, giving fans the opportunity to connect with the iconic silverware.
