BYD becomes Official Automotive Partner of Manchester City

Manchester City has agreed a new partnership with BYD, manufacturer of New Energy Vehicles and sustainable mobility solutions. The agreement will see BYD become the Official Automotive Partner of Manchester City, covering both men’s and women’s first teams. As well as supplying BYD and DENZA cars and other vehicles to the club, BYD Group will be responsible for vehicle charging and energy-storage batteries at City Football Academy.

From today, BYD's branding will also feature on the training kit sleeve of the men’s first team and from next season the women’s first team. In addition, BYD will have presence across the Etihad Stadium with LED advertising and the brand’s logo on the headrests of the dug-out area. One of the company’s cars will also lead the official Manchester City men’s first team bus into the stadium for Premier League and domestic-cup home fixtures.

As part of the wider agreement, BYD will also support future global community initiatives, working closely with City Football Foundation.
