Manchester City FC partner with BYD

Manchester City Football Club have announced a partnership with BYD, a Chinese manufacturer of New Energy Vehicles and sustainable mobility solutions.

BYD comes on board as the Official Automotive Partner of Man City’s men’s and women’s first teams. The company will supply a fleet of BYD and DENZA cars as well as other vehicles to City, while also taking care of the vehicles’ charging and energy-storage batteries at City Football Academy.

Additionally, BYD will have a branding presence on the sleeve of the City men’s first team’s training shirt and, from next season, that of the women’s first team. BYD will also have a branding presence at the club’s home ground, the Etihad Stadium, via LED advertising and dug-out headrests.

BYD cars will also lead the City men’s first team’s bus into the stadium for their Premier League and domestic cup home fixtures.

Ferran Soriano, Chief Executive Officer at City Football Group, commented:

“BYD are global leaders within their field. Leaders in delivering excellence through technology and innovation.
