inspiresport Extends Local Partnership with Manchester City 

inspiresport is delighted to announce the extension of its local partnership with Manchester City. 

Through the agreement, young players and coaches across North America will continue to have access to world-class development experiences at the Club’s training facilities, City Football Academy (CFA). 

The local partnership builds on inspiresport’s strong relationship with Manchester City since 2016, providing visiting clubs with memorable access to high-quality coaching, behind-the-scenes tours and opportunities to watch live matches at the Etihad and Joie Stadiums. 

Unique highlights over recent years have included a Q&A session with Manchester City legend Shaun Wright-Phillips, while another visiting group had the opportunity to meet Manchester City Women’s First Team players Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw and Kerstin Casparij.  

More recently, the Club hosted inspiresport’s talented Girls Academy International Select group, providing players with an UK development experience featuring elite training and competition against English academy opposition, including the Man City Academy team. 

Phil Edwards, Senior Vice President at inspiresport North America: 

“We are delighted to extend our partnership with Manchester City and continue creating exceptional opportunities for our touring teams. Access to the City Football Academy offers players and coaches a unique chance to learn from a world-leading football environment and gain insight into the culture, standards, and practices that drive success at the highest level. We’re proud to help make these experiences possible and look forward to achieving even more together.”

By extending the local partnership, inspiresport will continue to bring clubs closer to Manchester City, creating more valuable opportunities and unforgettable moments in Manchester.
