Impacting Man United and Man City…
The September international break is about to get a makeover crazier than a referee moonlighting as a rockstar! FIFA will make changes next year affecting both Manchester United and Manchester City. Players from many clubs are currently off playing for their countries. September’s early break can feel like trying to put on ski boots in the middle of summer, with more breaks to come in October and November. Now, FIFA’s new plan merges September and October into one mega-break, giving international play the spotlight it deserves and making club matches wait in line like they’re at a theme park ride.
Starting next year, the beloved September kickoff with national teams will be replaced by an epic 16-day playing spree from September 21 to October 6. That’s like turning a weekend camping trip into a month-long adventure in space! This means each nation has the chance to play four matches, followed by the usual nine-day windows in November and March. Once Premier League action resumes, Manchester United will challenge their neighborly rivals, City, at the Etihad on September 14, a match fans are hyping up like it’s a global cup final. Stay tuned for a season like never before!
