About Manchester City Football Club

Manchester City FC is an English Premier League club initially founded in
1880 as St Mark’s West Gorton. It officially became Manchester City FC in 1894
and has since then gone onto win the European Cup Winners’ Cup, six League
Championship titles, including four Premier League titles (2012, 2014, 2018,
2019), and six FA Cups. Manchester City FC is one of eleven clubs
comprising the City Football Group and counts New York City FC and Melbourne
City FC among its sister clubs. 

Under manager Pep Guardiola, one of the most highly decorated managers in
world football, the Club plays its domestic and UEFA Champions League home
fixtures at the Etihad Stadium, a spectacular 55,000 seat arena that City have
called home since 2003. Today, the Stadium sits on the wider Etihad Campus,
which also encompasses the City Football Academy, a state-of-the-art
performance training and youth development facility located in the heart of
East Manchester. Featuring a 7,000 capacity Academy Stadium, the City Football
Academy is also where Manchester City Women’s Football Club and the Elite
Development Squad train on a daily basis and play their competitive
home games.
