The man who financed the takeover of Manchester City is finally going to see the team in action this month.
Even though Sheikh Mansour has invested millions into the club to bring international stars such as Robinho and Carlos Tevez into the side, he has never actually attended a game, reports the Daily Telegraph.
Many of the clubs biggest players will not be in the side for the game against the United Arab Emirates national team, since they may be representing their country in World Cup Qualifiers.
The news provider explained: "Although the sheikh liaises closely with City chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak, no arrangements have yet been made for him to attend a competitive fixture at Eastlands."
The fixture will take place on November 12th at Abu Dhabi's Zayed Stadium, with players getting the opportunity to try out the club's Emirates Palace training facility for the first time.
Manchester City are currently fourth in the Premier League and face Burnley at the weekend.
