Juve and Man City set for Hong Kong trip

Manchester City will join Italian club Juventus to face Hong Kong treble winners South China in two exhibition matches in Hong Kong next month.

Sven-Goran Eriksson’s City will face a South China Invitation team at the 40,000 seater Hong Kong Stadium on May 22, before Claudio Ranieri’s Juve take on South China.

Hong Kong League, FA Cup and Senior Shield winners South China finished fourth in July’s Barclays Asia Trophy after losing to Premier League duo Liverpool and Fulham.

Juventus’ Asia-Pacific Tour is expected to take place between May 19-31 and include two more games, while City are expected to also play in Thailand, the home country of chairman Thaksin Shinawatra, the country’s former prime minister.
