The Tigers will face Portuguese Champions Benfica in the latest fixture to be added to their pre-season schedule.

The game will be played in Portugal as part of the Club's pre-season training camp and will take place on Saturday 22ndJuly at the Estadio Algarve (KO 8.30pm).

Benfica won last season's Primeira Liga, finishing six points clear of nearest rivals Porto, and will provide a stern test for Leonid Slutsky's side.

It means the Tigers now have four confirmed pre-season fixtures, as listed below:

Saturday 15th July: Oxford United - Estadio Da Nora, KO 6.30pm

Wednesday 18th July: Bristol Rovers - Estadio Da Nora, KO 6.30pm

Saturday 22nd July: Benfica - Estadio Algarve, KO 8.30pm

Tuesday 25th July: FC Nantes - KCOM Craven Park, KO 7.30pm

Fantastic, announce Bristol and Oxford nice and early so travel arrangements can be made, then weeks later slip another match in, ****s absolute useless ****s, and not the best of those!

I did the calendar download sync thingy for City's Championship fixtures on my phone. A match against Birmingham at the KCOM on 30th July at 3pm has suddenly appeared in my calendar. Could this be the last friendly accidentally released too early?

Edit: Birmingham play Swansea on 29th so unlikely.

We are gonna get tanked by benfica and ajax. Behind closed doors Is best all round
Perhaps we won't, and no it isn't. 'Travel in hope not expectation', is a maxim that's served me well over my time in watching City at away games. Once Van der Valk stuck his nose in City should have told Ajax to ram it!

Where is Ajaxs training ground exactly? A Google Map search suggests its 'just across the road' from the ArenA.

Must be somewhere else, because the one I can see, looks like you could roll up and look through a fence basically. Looks like there's only one small stand. Can't be can it?

We could play the original line up from escape to victory and I would still struggle to get excited about a friendly , still mentally scarred from the time we first got to the premier league and went to Oldham , always thought bored to tears was just an expression , I came close that night
