The season's standard curtain-raiser will take place on Saturday, August 10
With Euro 2024 over and team beginning to travel out on their attractive pre-season travels, it means that the start of the 2024/25 season is fast approaching.
While there's still plenty of payments to be boxed off and an Olympic event to be played before the start of the new home period, teams are then looking ahead to a new plan that is full of assurance.
The classic curtain raiser for American football is also about to arrive, too. DataVictory takes a look at this month's FA Community Shield.
How is the FA Community Shield decided?
The 102nd model of the opposition, which has come under a number of different names over the past eon or therefore, will be held this year's Community Shield.
It was created in 1908 as a professional and beginner competition after the FA and aspiring clubs broke up. It was created in 1898 as the Sheriff of London Charity Shield.
The Football League First Division champions faced the Southern League champions in a new style in 1930, which pitted the Football League champions against the FA Cup finalists. Following a few versions, the structure was changed to its current form in 1930.
It moved to Wembley Stadium in 1974 and when the Premier League was established in 1992, it then became the Premier League leaders against the FA Cup finalists.
If a team get a Premier League and the FA Cup single, they will experience the runners-up from the Premier League.
After the Charity Commission determined that the FA lacked the constitutional authority to describe how much money went to charities and postponed repayments to the chosen organizations, the contest's name changed to the Community Shield in 2002.
Who is in this month's FA Community Shield?
This year's competition which takes place on Saturday, August 10 at Wembley Stadium, will be a nearby derby as Manchester City take on Manchester United.
On the last day of last year, City, who had won their third successive Premier League title, were the favorites to win the match, just for cross-town rivals United to take them out in the FA Cup final after a subpar league campaign that saw them complete ninth overall. Had City won the FA Cup, Arsenal may be playing in the Community Shield, as they finished second in the group.
This will be the third time in a row City may play in the match, with Pep Guardiola's people having lost the previous three events. If the Red Devils succeed, it will be their 22nd success in the match, extending their personal history for most win in the competition's history.
