Manchester City v Celtic at UNC Chapel Hill

For Release: March 19, 2024

Unified Events is excited to be returning to partner with the University of North Carolina to welcome international club soccer to Kenan Stadium when England’s Manchester City and Scotland’s Celtic FC will face off against each other on Tuesday, July 23, 2024.

North Carolina will host the third all-time meeting between Manchester City and Celtic, with each team looking for their first series victory. The clubs drew in their two previous meetings as part of the UEFA Champions’ League Group Stages during the 2016-17 season.

“Both of these teams are champions, and we are excited to bring them to a campus that has no shortage of trophies,” said Molly Pendleton, Senior Vice President, Unified Events, UNC Alumni and a Raleigh resident.

July 23 will be the second-ever international match at Kenan Stadium. Last July, Unified Events and the FC Series hosted Chelsea’s 5-0 victory over Wrexham in front of a sold-out crowd of 50,596. A portion of proceeds from this summer’s match will benefit UNC Children’s Hospital. Last year, $150,000 was donated to the hospital.
