The 2024 Florida Cup was the tenth edition of the Florida Cup, a friendly association football tournament played in the United States. It was contested from July 23 to August 3, 2024. For the third year, the tournament was not a true friendly cup competition but rather a series of friendlies referred to as the FC Series. [1]

Contents

The series featured Manchester City playing against four other teams over the course of the series, including Celtic, Milan, Barcelona, and Chelsea. Additionally, two friendlies organized by the FC Series but not as part of the series proper featured Chelsea play Celtic and América. Two of the FC Series games were also part of a larger Soccer Champions Tour. [2] [3]
