Since 1949, the OSC has connected City fans around the globe. Today, it remains an independent organisation, run by volunteers and supported by Manchester City Football Club. Together, we celebrate our Club and community wherever we are in the world.
What your membership means
By joining your local branch, you’ve become part of a global community of City supporters. You are one of thousands of members worldwide who shares a love of City. Wherever you are in the world, your membership allows you to engage with the football club and proudly represent where you’re from.
Where do my fees go?
Your membership fee contributes towards your unique benefits, OSC operational costs and charitable causes. From 2024/25 fees alone, OSC members raised over £20,000 for City in the Community, the Club’s official charity. For every adult membership, £1 is donated to City in the Community, 50p to the Former Player’s Association, and a further 50p to the Official Supporters Club’s charitable fund.
Please note that your branch may charge additional fees in order to cover operational costs.
