Gulf Today, Staff Reporter

Expo 2020 Dubai played host to the Premier League and Carabao Cup trophies on Monday, as part of its partnership with Manchester City, the reigning champions in both competitions, and its partnership with Etisalat, with fans of all ages catching a glimpse of the sparkling silverware.

The trophy will be on display on Tuesday also at the Aussie Park five-a-side pitch at Expo’s Sports, Fitness and Wellbeing Hub, as part of special City Football Schools sessions, with photo opportunities with the trophies after the session.

Following the session on Tuesday, the trophies will be transferred to Garden on 1, Sports Lounge in Expo 2020 Dubai for a Manchester City viewing party, with a fan club screening of the men’s team taking on Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League.

Last month, Expo 2020 was unveiled as Manchester City’s new training kit partner for the club’s men’s and women’s teams. Expo 2020 branding will appear across the Etihad Stadium and City Football Academy training facilities, as well as featuring on City’s content and digital platforms.

Expo 2020 is also an official partner of the Manchester City esports team and features on the front of the esports kit.

As the show’s official premier partner, Etisalat is connecting a whole new world at Expo 2020 Dubai, and inviting fans on social media to come and see the trophies.

City is hosting daily football sessions at the Expo site, led by dedicated City coaching staff who apply the same training methodology used by the teams on the training pitches in Manchester. Representatives from the club and wider City Football Group network will also take part in bespoke Expo events over the coming months.
