For one final time in Abu Dhabi, Gareth Taylor and his team took to the pristine pitches for our last warm weather training session.

Our week in the United Arab Emirates has flown by. 

The team has been hard at work preparing for the business end of the 2024/25 campaign in a different, and much warmer, environment before our return to the Joie Stadium this weekend.

And perhaps there was no better way to kick off the final training session than with a bit of acapella from Aoba Fujino

City’s new Women’s Director of Football, Therese Sjogran, also watched on as the girls began training. 

Some fun drills, intense goalkeeping sessions and a little bit of tanning whilst chatting amongst friends completed the day for Taylor and his team.
