Confirmed Cardiff City FC

We're pleased to announce that Cardiff City will visit North America this summer as part of their preparations for the 2019/20 Sky Bet Championship season.

While in the USA, Neil Warnock's side are set to take in matches at USL Championship teams San Antonio FC & New Mexico United.

Cardiff City will finish their tour in Edmonton, Canada on Saturday, July 20th, 2019. Our opponent for this fixture will be announced in due course.


Saturday 13th July - San Antonio vs. Cardiff City - Toyota Field Stadium, San Antonio (7pm CDT)



Thursday 18th July – New Mexico United vs. Cardiff City - UNM Soccer Stadium, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque (8:30pm MDT)

Supporters who wish to join us across the pond for our match with San Antonio can purchase tickets by clicking here. Ticket information for our game with New Mexico United will be announced once available.



Executive Director & CEO, Ken Choo, said: “We’re delighted to take Cardiff City over to America for our 2019 pre-season tour.

“The suggestion is that this trip will provide a tough test for the squad ahead of what we are all hoping will be a competitive and successful 2019/20 Championship campaign.”



Neil Warnock added: “I think it’s a great opportunity to get the lads away for ten days and play three tough matches at great facilities.

“We’re also hoping to soon confirm an attractive home match against foreign opposition for the final Saturday before the season starts.”

Stay tuned to cardiffcityfc.co.uk and our social media channels for further updates, with more pre-season fixtures to be confirmed.

I know that Cardiff City have tried to arrange a tour in Texas this summer, but was awaiting any official news?

Just been told it’s all been paid for by someone over there

Seems like too much travelling involved there, excluding the travel to and from Cardiff they'd have to travel around 2000 miles in a week just to play 3 games. (according to Google maps)

Better than taffs well and torquay surely

Just been told it’s all been paid for by someone over there

That's a bit of a jump up from Cornwall!

We normally start the season well, I hope that doesn't knacker them too much!

Annis, that's a real Hmmmmmmmmm

Mike Young Super Ted probably , met him when we played Seattle a few years back

Annis, that's a real Hmmmmmmmmm

Why?
Isn't that usual, compared to who we are playing we will be the big team and they will want to sell the tickets.

Just like we will have to pay for any decent team to come here for our home game.

Edmonton is a strange one as they don't have a football team, closest one is here in Vancouver. Hopefully a decent team gets announced

Brilliant place went there mid 80s ! But big question is why is someone over there paying cost of tour?

Meeting tonight 8 of us confirmed game in Canada I believe is against Palace.

Anyone going?? Wouldn't mind it to be honest. Could do with a break
And there's Football too....

May be fine for the players club but as a supporter its a shame they are going so far. We did the Devon and Cornwall tour last year and it was great. Was hoping they would do somewhere in Western Europe this year such as France. North America is not the best place to be for Warnock if he hasn't concluded all the his transfer negotiations either.

Is it ? Didn't know that a whole tour would be paid for, ah well, every day's a school day

Normally it's a decent team coming to city from usually Europe so cost is minimal compared to travelling thousands of miles to USA to play against comparatively small teams. Plus then go on to Canada another couple of thousand Miles to play another relatively small team we are not exactly a big draw are we? So got to ask question why is someone footing a bill that they are not going to recoup which is normally the case ?

:lol:

In the flip side what t would be the point in City doing it at a cost?

These tours abroad are all about money. Clubs don't do it for the quality teams they play. No doubt there will be sponsorship involved as well.

We have just been in the premiership, probably a big coup got these teams.

Got a point there, perhaps it was signed off when we were in the Prem.

Cant afford America so it will have to be Larkhall

Will it be 1st team or under 23? Anyone know?

Who cares ffss just let the players enjoy their trip to America rather than shitty Devon for once they deserve it.

Home game is the Saturday before the season starts, they are trying to get a "glamour" team.

No complaints from me about going there and it does make change and does get our name out there ? Just curious as to why someone from over there would bank role us even if we was a premier league team ! presume this person must have interest in all 3 clubs to sponsor us or what's in it for them?
