Manchester City's Sydney Official Supporters Club joined forces with the neighbouring Manchester United Supporters Club to raise money for charity.

Throughout the year, both Supporters Clubs had rallied to aid the COVID-19 recovery in the wake of the global pandemic.

Inspired by Marcus Rashford MBE’s work in helping to end child food poverty, the two Clubs united to give back to a community in which they shared s strong connection by raising money for the MUFC Fans & MCFC Fans Foodbank Support Appeal, in conjunction with the Trussell Trust.

The two sides arranged two events to raise money, playing out a Supporters Club Manchester Derby and taking part in a FIFA21 tournament with other football clubs.

Both events proved a big success with the Derby game raising $1,285 AUD collectively.

With the weather on the day set to reach a scorching 40 degrees, the game was scheduled for a later kick-off but was still contested in intense heat.

Although City took the lead early on, United triumphed 6-3 in the end - but of course, the result of the day would be the money raised.

Congratulations to all involved for their terrific efforts.

The Supporters Club FIFA21 Tournament - hosted by Ultra Football - saw City, United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool compete for a store store voucher prize of $100 and title of ‘best club in Sydney.’

Tim Langridge carried City through to the semi-finals but ultimately, it would be United who took the crown.

The Sydney City Supporters Club share a good relationships with their Premier League counterparts in the city, actively networking within the local football scene.

The Club arranges social activities to bring fans together, while members also receive membership packs, discounts and ticket allocations (including A League tickets for Melbourne City away games!)

Across Sydney, Premier League Supporters Clubs work together to organise recreational activities outside of match viewings, providing more opportunities for members of all ages to connect, creating memories and some healthy competition between fans!

The Sydney Manchester City Official Supporters Club are proud to embody City spirit wherever they go!
