New Delhi: Manchester City, who re-wrote the history books by winning the English Premier League four times in a row last season, have arrived in India’s capital city as part of the club’s Champions 4-in-a-row Trophy Tour, presented by Etihad Airways. To celebrate this historic achievement, Manchester City have brought the Premier League trophy to New Delhi, alongside the Club World Cup and Community Shield trophies.

The trophies will be accompanied alongside former Manchester City and England winger Shaun Wright-Phillips across a range of activities for Cityzens in India, including a fan event on Sunday 22nd September where fans are invited to watch Manchester City take on Arsenal FC at Vegas Mall.

After a memorable 2023/24 season, the Cityzens are keen to build on that success with the likes of Kevin de Bruyne and Erling Haaland leading the line, dressed in the unmissable city blue. Ahead of the game against Arsenal, the defending champions stand at the top of the Premier League table with 12 points and four wins from as many games.

This is part of Manchester City’s commitment to upskilling over 150 community coaches to leave a lasting impact in five cities.
