We're going to South Africa and playing in the Amsterdam tournie at the start of August.

Wierd choice for a pre season tour when you consider we normally go on these as money spinners.

Tuesday, July 18 – Kaizer Chiefs v Manchester United (Cape Town, 7pm Irish time).

Thursday, July 20 – Kaizer Chiefs v Orlando Pirates (Rustenburg, 7pm Irish time).

Saturday, July 22 – Manchester United v winners of July 20 game (Pretoria, 2pm Irish time).

Has that ever been confirmed?

It was dependant on if we qualified automatically for CL, which we now have.

Talked as opening game for full quadrants?

It was just a rumour probably, I can't see us playing Barcelona in the World Cup year, particularly when we have almost entire summer filled with friendlies.
 
I definitely read that we were getting a "big european team" to open the new ground. It was dependant on us getting second which has been achieved, so watch this space.
 
Well since the Barca match was conditional on us finishing second, adn we have, hopefully it comes to pass.

So Ronaldinho will walk out at Old Trafford after all then? ;)

Maybe but don't forget the WC2010 factor here as SA if trying to showcase their potential of hosting big football matches.
 
I read from another forum that the turkish league will start at august 4th or 6th, so our match with Galatasaray on Aug 4 is still questionable.

Heard it on the radio but cant find any links to it.
 
Doesn't that Orlando Pirates team have that one player who, in FM, turns out to be quite good? Moekena or something?

Sign him up Fergie

Last year they were back 10th July.

The WC players will of course get a longer break...
