Established in 2007, Citizens Brasil OSC became the first branch formed in South America and have now passed 150 members for the first time.
Enzo Krieger, General Secretary of the branch, was thrilled with the growth of the OSC and that ‘this is just the beginning of something truly special’.
Krieger also said: “We all share common ground - the love for City. This club is a source of pride and joy for many people in Brazil and we want to make them feel a part of the Club, close to the team they choose to support.
“We grow together with Manchester City’s success on the field, which means we are just getting started and hungry for more!”

With the upcoming Treble Trophy Tour in January, the Citizens Brasil branch expect to see an even bigger boost in their member numbers.
Lucas Shelby, Chairman of the branch, said: “This is unique. City has already been to Brazil with the trophies three times. It is amazing! No other European club has ever done this. The attention they give us is really special.”
Arthur Aguiar, a member of the branch, added: “Being part of the Citizens Brasil branch for me means being more connected and closer to City, with the fans united by the purpose of enjoying everything the club offers us: emotions in games, cheering together, discussing and exchanging ideas about the club.
“The Citizens Brasil allows me to support and be close even though I’m physically far from Manchester. What influenced me to join the OSC was initially to strengthen my connection with the club, help in some way and also meet other people who fuel my passion for the club. It was the best decision I made.”
City are excited to be visiting Brazil in January and look forward to catching up with our Citizens Brasil Official Supporters Club.
