About Manchester City

Manchester City began in 1880 as St Mark's, a church cricket and football club in West Gorton, becoming Ardwick Association Football Club in 1887 and finally Manchester City in 1894 — the rebrand that also gave the club its Citizens nickname. City's honours list was modest for most of the twentieth century, but investment since 2008 transformed the club into English football's dominant modern force: ten league titles, including four in a row between 2021 and 2024 under Pep Guardiola, and a first Champions League title in 2023, won 1-0 against Inter Milan. The Etihad Stadium, built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games, has been at the centre of that rise.

Manchester City records & quirks

  • Manchester City are the only club ever relegated as reigning champions — they went down the season after winning the title, in 1937.
  • City's home attendance record, 84,569, set for an FA Cup tie against Stoke City in 1934, still stands as an English club record.
  • In a 1906 illegal-payments scandal, the FA forced City to auction its entire squad — rivals Manchester United bought several of the stars.
  • City's record league win is 11-3 over Lincoln City, in 1895.
About Etihad StadiumShow ▾

Manchester City's home on the eastern side of the city sits at the heart of a growing sports and events campus, hosting Premier League football and major stadium concerts. The regenerated area around the ground is modern and purpose-built rather than traditional, with the city centre to the west for its bars and restaurants.

The Etihad Campus Metrolink stop, on the Ashton line, serves the stadium. Staying nearby means you can walk to the tram and slip back into town afterwards.
