The opening game of City's visit to South Africa will be at the heart of packed day at the City of Manchester Stadium this Saturday.

The Blues play Orlando Pirates in Polokwane at 2.00pm UK time, and the whole match will be shown on a big screen for free outside the stadium as part of our two-day Live From City event.

But that's not all we have for you! The brand new CityStore will open its doors for the first time at 9.00am, and this will be your first chance to buy the eye-catching new City home kit in person. The afternoon's match will be the first time that the new kit will see action, so don't miss out on the chance to wear it as you watch! The kit will only be available exclusively at the CityStores at the stadium or in the Arndale Centre, and in no other shops.

From 10.30am there will be bags of entertainment around the ground, with face-painters, balloon modellers, the MCFC Big Band and a bar-b-q at lunchtime.

There'll be free parking in the East car park, off Alan Turing Way, and if you can't make it along on the day, the game will be streamed live on www.mcfc.co.uk.
