With the 2017/18 English Premier League football season fast approaching, Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi) and Manchester City Football Club have launched a new season-long global campaign - the ‘Extraordinary City Story’.
The campaign gives football fans a chance to document their memories and win a free trip to the UAE capital, including free tickets to a Manchester City game at Etihad Stadium.
“TCA Abu Dhabi is extremely excited about teaming up with Manchester City for this season-long campaign,” said Sultan Al Dhaheri, acting executive director of tourism at TCA Abu Dhabi. “As official destination partner of Manchester City Football Club, this activity gives fans from across the world the chance to win a fantastic trip to the UAE capital to experience our extraordinary city and also to watch the stars of Manchester City in action. It also gives them the opportunity to share with other fans those amazing, unique, unforgettable moments that make following their team so special. We can’t wait to read these extraordinary stories from fans, which will no doubt be of interest to other City fans around the world.”
The activity kicks off with a competition offering club supporters the chance to win prizes throughout the season, such as tickets to the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and a grand prize of an all-expenses paid trip to Abu Dhabi coupled with tickets to a Manchester City game at the Etihad Stadium. To be in with a chance to win, fans need only share their most ‘extraordinary’ memory of being a City fan using the hashtag #ExtraordinaryCityStory.
To celebrate the launch of the global competition, TCA Abu Dhabi unveiled a specially commissioned shirt at Emirates Palace, the venue for Manchester City’s mid-season training session earlier this year.
The shirt will be worn by Sergio Aguero, Kevin de Bruyne, Vincent Kompany and the rest of the City stars as they take on the likes of city rivals Manchester United, European champions Real Madrid and London giants Tottenham Hotspur in the USA for pre-season matches this summer.
