Overall, the club has won nine English League championships, eight League Cups, seven FA Cups and one European Cup Winners’ Cup. The July match will be City’s third appearance at the current Yankee Stadium. In its most-recent visit to the Bronx on July 30, 2014, vs. Liverpool, Stevan Jovetić netted both City goals in a 2-2 tie in regulation before losing on penalties. Man City played its first match at Yankee Stadium on May 25, 2013, defeating Chelsea, 5-3, with Samir Nasri scoring a pair of goals for the Sky Blues.

Founded in 1899, AC Milan is one of the world’s most famous and decorated soccer clubs, having won seven European Cups, 19 Serie A league titles, five Italian Cups (Coppa Italia), five European Super Cups and two Cup Winners’ Cups. Their seven European Cup championships are the second-most all time, trailing only Real Madrid (14). This will mark the Rossoneri’s second appearance at the current Yankee Stadium, having faced Real Madrid in a 5-1 defeat, on August 8, 2012, with Robinho scoring the team’s lone goal. AC Milan also played two games at the original Yankee Stadium, defeating Panathinaikos, 4-0, on June 27, 1969, and besting rival Inter Milan, 6-4, two days later. In 2022, the New York Yankees purchased a minority stake in AC Milan, and Yankees President Randy Levine currently serves on AC Milan’s Board of Directors.

From its founding in 2013 as MLS’ 20^th franchise and its first match in 2015, New York City FC needed just seven seasons to secure its first MLS Cup championship in 2021. The club has finished with more wins than losses in seven of its nine years of play and has taken at least a point from over 68% of its regular season matches. The New York Yankees have been a minority partner of New York City FC since its founding, with Manchester City’s parent company, City Football Group, the club’s majority owner.

The original Yankee Stadium hosted dozens of matches featuring clubs from around the world, and the tradition has continued at the current Yankee Stadium, which has also served as the primary home of New York City FC since it began play. The previous six European friendlies held at the current Stadium have been — July 24, 2019: Liverpool 2 − Sporting CP 2 • July 30, 2014: Liverpool 2 (3) – Man. City 2 (1) • June 11, 2013: Spain 2 − Ireland 0 • May 25, 2013: Man. City 5 − Chelsea 3 • August 8, 2012: Real Madrid 5 − AC Milan 1 • July 22, 2012: Chelsea 1 − PSG 1.
