Manchester City and Inspiresport extend partnership

Inspiresport, a provider of youth sports development tours and Manchester City Football Club are delighted to announce an extension of their domestic partnership for the provision of school and youth group tours.

The new agreement will take the partnership between Inspiresport and the current English Premier League Champions into a tenth year following its commencement in 2016.

During that time, more than 200 groups have attended training sessions at the City Football Academy on the Etihad Campus, with over 5000 young players of all abilities participating in innovative practical sessions led by the programme’s coaching staff.

Steve Butchart, MD inspiresport Group said: “We’re obviously thrilled to announce this partnership extension and extend our relationship with the club. From post trip feedback received from our groups who have attended the programme, Manchester City are one of our top performing partners for all round sporting experience, quality of training sessions and expertise of the coaching staff. Add to that, the quality of the campus training facilities, the Manchester City tour option has a real appeal for groups wanting a taste of an elite sport environment.”

Jorgina Busquets, Managing Director, Football Education and Recreation, City Football Group, “We’re delighted to further extend our relationship with inspiresport today. Since the initiative started in 2015, we have seen thousands of young players from all over the world visit City Football Academy to train with us, learn our philosophy and develop for the future. We look forward to welcoming many more groups here for years to come”.

This new agreement between the two organisations will also incorporate the North American market for inspiresport to provide bespoke soccer training tours to Manchester City. High school and club teams from the USA and Canada will have the opportunity to travel to Manchester to participate in the fabulous football experience.
