<p>The much-anticipated game between City and Pep Guardiola's former club at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, was delayed by one hour and 20 minutes after a weather warning was issued.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>City's first game of the USA tour, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/erling-haaland-back-in-business-kalvin-phillips-all-over-the-place-defence-winners-and-losers-man-city-usa-tour-celtic-defeat/blt032cec5d060caa58" target="_blank">the 4-3 defeat by Celtic</a>, was also affected by adverse weather.

<p>City are no strangers to having pre-season games disrupted by bad weather. Their 2022 game with Bayern Munich at Lambeau Field was paused due to an electric storm. Their fixture against Atletico Madrid during last year's tour of Asia was postponed by 45 minutes due to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/explained-why-man-city-s-pre-season-friendly-against-atletico-madrid-was-delayed/bltfbb9ab3e90ad4e08" target="_blank">torrential rain in Seoul</a>.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>City conclude their tour of the USA next Saturday against Chelsea in Ohio. They then contest the Community Shield against arch rivals Manchester United on August 10.</p>
