Destination Sport Group is proud to announce a new partnership with Manchester City Football Club, becoming an official local partner to the eight-time Premier League champions.
The agreement builds on a successful long-term relationship in which Destination Sport Group has delivered comprehensive travel services in conjunction with the club, including team travel management, youth tours, fan experiences and curated VIP travel experiences.
The partnership brings together four of Destination Sport Group’s specialist divisions – Destination Sport Travel, inspiresport, SportsBreaks, and Sportsworld – each playing a vital role in delivering a fully integrated travel solution for Manchester City.
Destination Sport Travel will continue to provide expert team travel support for Manchester City’s elite men’s, women’s, and academy teams, having done so for the past six seasons. This includes domestic fixtures and major international tournaments such as the UEFA Champions League and recent FIFA Club World Cup.
Inspiresport will continue to deliver youth development tours that provide schools, clubs, and colleges with the opportunity to train at the world-class City Football Academy. Since 2015, inspiresport has welcomed hundreds of teams from the U.K. and U.S. to Manchester, experiencing elite coaching from City Football Schools staff as part of an immersive tour package.
SportsBreaks will remain a trusted provider of ticket-inclusive supporter packages to fixtures at the Etihad Stadium. These packages include general admission or Citizens hospitality tickets, paired with a variety of hand-picked hotel options. Whether travelling from across the UK or internationally, SportsBreaks ensure Manchester City fans can enjoy a seamless and memorable matchday experience.
Completing the partnership, Sportsworld will continue to deliver premium travel experiences for corporate clients and VIP groups, as well as managing official supporter travel for away fixtures on behalf of Manchester City.
Director of Commercial and Fan Support at Manchester City, Jonathan Lingham, commented on the new partnership:
“We’re delighted to build on and further cement our current relationship with Destination Sport Group - a leading sports organisation who provide a valuable service to the club across multiple touchpoints.”
Group Chief Executive Officer at Destination Sport Group, Paul Hemingway, added:
