The team’s first ever global formalwear partner, the link-up will see the players wear a limited edition, hand-sewn collection at the Club’s Barclays FA Women’s Super League fixture against Manchester United at the Academy Stadium in February 2021.
There will also be a number of further occasions across the course of the 2020/21 season and beyond where the team will be dressed by the south of Italy creatives.
They previously created an exclusive custom coat for the team’s recent Vitality Women’s FA Cup Final victory over Everton at Wembley Stadium in early November, which the players were involved in designing.
Courtesy of the partnership, throughout the duration of the current campaign there will be a number of fan engagement activities and bespoke content featuring members of Manchester City Women’s first team squad.
Salento Creazioni Moda will also hold the sponsorship of the Club’s prestigious Player of the Year accolade which will be presented at the End of Season Awards.
Finally, Salento Creazioni Moda will be retailing the limited-edition co-branded collection with Manchester City directly online through their own e-commerce channels in February.
We will also be working together to enable fans to purchase the co-branded collection through the Official City shop and will announce full details in the coming months.
