Kick-off time has been confirmed for 6pm (11am UK) on Wednesday July 17 at the Nanjing Olympic Sports Center.

If Wolves beat Newcastle, they would then face the winner of the other semi-final between Premier League champions Manchester City and West Ham United on Saturday July 20, 8.30pm (1.30pm UK) at Hongkou Stadium in Shanghai.

Should Wolves lose the game, they would play a third/fourth place play-off against the losing semi-finalist, with the match kicking off at 6pm (11am UK), prior to the final.

“I have been to China and it was very enjoyable, so we are looking forwards to visiting the country again this summer," said Nuno.

“It will be great to compete in a really good tournament with all these other Premier League teams.”

Tickets for the games are available on exclusive pre-sale this morning.

Category D tickets cost £21 for the semi-finals and £32 for the final and 3rd/4th play-off.

There are no reduced concessions, but each daily ticket will provide access to both matches played on that day.
