MANCHESTER: Manchester City’s double of winning the Premier League and the Carabao Cup in the 2018-19 season has prompted the club to celebrate the achievement in the upcoming Centurions Trophy Tour, which will be sponsored by Etihad Airways.
On the tour, the trophies won will be displayed on the roads of 15 cities across China, USA, South America and South East Asia in the coming weeks. The club will be giving its biggest, loyal fans the opportunity to select the cities through its Cityzens membership platform and amazing experiences such as fan events, match screenings and participation in its community projects to savour as well.
The tour began in the city of Abu Dhabi yesterday via a launch event. It will showcase the record-breaking ‘Centurions’ season which saw the team reach 100 points in its Premier League campaign.
Omar Berrada, CEO of Manchester City, said: “We are delighted to launch Manchester City’s Centurions Trophy Tour, presented by Etihad Airways.
“Our record-breaking ‘Centurions’ season was a great achievement for the Club and we are excited to be able to celebrate this with fans in their home cities around the world.
“We wanted to make sure that our fans were at the heart of all of the celebrations and this tour is extra special as fans will get the chance to decide where the trophies visit. We have some exciting plans to create great City experiences for fans on every stop of the tour and bring them closer than ever to the Club they love.”
Patrick Pierce, vice president Marketing Partnerships at Etihad Airways, said: “As Manchester City Football Club’s main partner, Etihad Airways is thrilled to celebrate the team’s success and reward their fans around the world.
