Their biggest stars, including Sergio Augero, David Villa, Vincent Kompany and Yaya Toure, will be in World Cup mode with their respective nations ahead of the globe's biggest sporting event in June in Brazil.
Still, the excitement surrounding The Citizens' new relationship with A-League should ensure healthy crowds in Brisbane and Melbourne. The Sky Blues have had an official Brisbane supporters group since last 2010.

The group last year received the official Heart of the City recognition from the 2012 Premier League champions.
"We have a great set of supporters and have become more like a family who have come together with the same burning drive, to watch their team be successful," City's Brisbane supporters group general secretary Eric Fitton told the Manchester City website.

In recent years the Roar have played Premier League side Everton (2010) and Scottish heavyweights Celtic (2009) at Suncorp Stadium.
Officials from the Milton venue were remaining tight-lipped about the prospect of a Manchester City visit.
"Suncorp Stadium and Tourism and Events Queensland continually work to secure additional major events for the venue, which in turn benefit the state's economy," a Suncorp Stadium spokesman said.
"We are in regular discussions with promoters and agents regarding a number of prospective major events.

"If and when a new major event is confirmed, it will be announced at that time.
"Until that time, any negotiations should remain commercial in confidence between the parties concerned, and both Suncorp Stadium and Tourism and Events Queensland will continue to respect that principle."
City's Premier League commitments will take them through to the weekend of May 10-11, while should they make the FA Cup final, they will have a date at Wembley on May 17.
Should the Roar reach the A-League grand final, their 2013-14 commitments will end on May 4.
The Brisbane Broncos only have one NRL game scheduled at Suncorp Stadium that month, their May 16 clash against the Gold Coast Titans.
The first match of this year's State of Origin series will be played at the venue on May 28.
The Queensland Reds have three Super rugby clashes in May in Brisbane against the Crusaders (11th), Rebels (17th) and Highlanders (30th).
