    A meeting between Premier League champions Manchester City and Hamburg on Wednesday, January 21 at 19:30 provides a glamorous culmination to the ‘First Annual Festive Celebrations’ at the 25,000-seater venue. This will be the Abu Dhabi-owned club’s second match at the ground, following May’s previous friendly.

    An all-Bundesliga affair kicks off the festivities, Eintracht Frankfurt playing Hamburg on Thursday at 20:00. Three days later, Al Ain are in action when they host Eintracht, kick-off again at 20:00. The clubs signed a groundbreaking two-year partnership in November to share facilities and expertise.

    A three-day family festival then concludes the event from Thursday, January 22 to Saturday, January 24. Tickets to all three matches can be purchased now on ticketmaster.com, prices ranging from Dh10-500.
