There’s only one fixture across all of our four teams during the Christmas week, with our Women’s First Team, Elite Development Squad and Under-18s all signing off until the new year.
However, our Men’s First Team face a difficult trip to Nottingham on Saturday, with several of our players also in action in the opening week of the Africa Cup of Nations.
Monday
Egypt v Zimbabwe | AFCON | 20:00 (UK)
Omar Marmoush could feature in Egypt’s opening Group B fixture at the African Cup of Nations on Monday evening.
The Pharaohs are seven-time Champions but come into the latest tournament looking to end a 15-year wait for their eighth title.
Keep across mancity.com and the official Man City app for a report on how Omar and Egypt got on.
Wednesday
Algeria v Sudan | AFCON | 15:00 (UK)
On Wednesday, attentions turn to Group E, where Rayan Ait-Nouri will be hoping to get Algeria off to a winning start against Sudan.
Algeria have won AFCON twice, most recently in 2019, but were knocked out of the group stages in each of the past two tournaments despite being tipped by many to go deep into the competition.
Rayan will hope, alongside former City star Riyad Mahrez, that the North African giants can go the distance this time.
Once again, a match report on the game will be available to view on mancity.com and the official Man City app soon after the final whistle.
FRIDAY
Egypt v South Africa | AFCON | 15:00
It’s back to AFCON on Friday, with Omar Marmoush’s Egypt facing South Africa in their second Group B assignment.
Once again, a report on the game will be available soon after the final whistle on mancity.com and the official Man City app.
