The Club’s charity, City in the Community (CITC), is excited to announce Co-op Live as the main event sponsor for its popular ‘Blues on the Green’ golf tournament.

Co-op Live, the UK’s largest live entertainment arena, opened its doors in May 2024 and is located on Manchester’s Etihad Campus, adjacent to the Etihad Stadium and City Football Academy.

Their sponsorship of this edition of ‘Blues on the Green’ will support City in the Community’s purpose of empowering healthier lives through football.

Hosted in August, Blues on the Green is a four-ball golf tournament hosted at Mottram Hall, Cheshire, a course that presents a challenge to even the most seasoned golfer.

2024 marks the 11th year that City in the Community has delivered the fundraising event.

In addition to the challenging course and golf on the day, entrants will also have access to a breakfast on arrival and an evening meal that will be held in the St Andrew’s Suite, here, entrants can unwind and enjoy post-golf drinks with fellow teams.

The upcoming edition of ‘Blues on the Green’ is set to be the biggest yet as it will feature a Q&A session with a club legend and a CITC participant, as well as awards ceremonies for the day’s winners and a raffle for some exclusive Club sourced prizes.

All profits raised will go towards supporting Manchester City’s charity.

Founded in 1986, City in the Community supports people across Greater Manchester by empowering healthier lives through football.

Programmes place physical and mental wellbeing at their core, whilst also creating healthy futures and healthy communities.
