Manchester City FC has today announced a new project with the world’s most versatile camera manufacturer, GoPro.

The initiative will see the Californian-based company, loved by extreme sports enthusiasts the world over, team up with City to create never-before-seen innovative content.

Using GoPro’s trademark action point-of-view filming, both City and GoPro are now able to put fans firmly at the heart of the action giving them a first-hand insight into what it’s like to train and play like a professional footballer.

Earlier this summer on City’s pre-season tour of New York, the GoPro media team were granted exclusive access to players in order to film the brand’s first ever football feature, shot 100% on GoPro’s new HERO3 cameras.

The lightweight high-resolution cameras were mounted to the Club’s coaches and players during practice sessions, including City and England goalkeeper Joe Hart and French international Samir Nasri.

In addition, GoPros also featured during both of City’s US fixtures at the iconic Yankee Stadium in New York and Busch Stadium in St. Louis, capturing the pre-match atmosphere and what players go through before they take to the field of play.

Commenting on the project, Tom Glick, Chief Commercial and Operating Officer for Manchester City, said: “As a Club we have always been passionate about providing fans with content that is not only immersive and captivating, but a true reflection of what goes on behind-the-scenes on and off the pitch also. From Tunnel Cam to Inside City, we have continually pushed the boundaries to engage fans and bring them closer to the club they love.

“GoPro has enabled us to take that philosophy to the next level, combining both their cutting edge technology and expertise in capturing raw point-of-view sports footage. GoPro is a perfect fit and together with CityTV, we look forward to creating the next evolution in sports content.”

This sentiment was shared by GoPro’s Head of Production, Wil Tidman, who added:

"It was an honuor for GoPro to work with Manchester City. The experience provided an amazing opportunity to showcase the unique perspectives and competitive edge our camera can offer to one of the most elite football teams in the world."

GoPro is currently exploring 3D capabilities and how these can be applied to the world of sport.


The club used these cameras during training in NY on the post season tournament, if you missed it take a look......http://youtu.be/T0cQLDDJGxs

This is also worth a watch, their showreel of what else the camera can be used for and they're only about £350 from memory...http://youtu.be/A3PDXmYoF5U

LG:

Manchester City FC is delighted to announce LG as the Club’s Official Digital Display Partner.

The two-year deal will see the leading global electronics producer provide cutting-edge display technologies to the Etihad Stadium.

During the build-up to the 2013/14 Barclays Premier League this summer, LG kitted out the Etihad Stadium with more than 360 premium digital LED screens, as part of a stadium-wide refit.

The screens, ranging from 22-inch to 47-inch, were installed throughout the stadium’s premium suites, hospitality boxes, fan concourses and food and beverage kiosks.

More than 320 flat-screens, which can be used as TV or digital signage, will also feature in the City Football Academy. Due to open next summer, the Club’s state-of-the-art training complex is located on an 80-acre site next to the Etihad Stadium, in the heart of East Manchester.

Commenting on the partnership, Chief Commercial & Operating Officer for Manchester City Football Club, Tom Glick, said:

“LG’s reputation for designing innovative consumer products and applying new technologies throughout five decades has reinforced the brand’s status as a global leader within the electronics industry.

“Manchester City is committed to continuous improvement of our facilities for our fans on match days and visitors to the Etihad Stadium for meetings and special events.

“The digital refit of our stadium concourses and hospitality facilities is only the beginning of our exciting partnership with LG. More enhancements for our fans are planned for the coming months, and we look forward to making the Etihad Stadium and City Football Academy a showcase for LG’s world class products.”

The Club’s sentiment is shared by LG Electronics UK President, Brian Na, who added:

“We are delighted to be an official partner of Manchester City Football Club; during what we are confident will be an exciting and successful season for the club.”

As part of the partnership, LG will be permitted to use City players and the Club crest in advertising, packaging and point-of-sale across LG’s vast sales networks around the globe. In addition, LG branding will also feature in a range of advertising from the match day programme through to perimeter LED screens

Twitter in another 10 lingos now. (Plus English and Arabic total 12). Sorry didn't have time to post it yesterday.

http://www.fcbusiness.co.uk/news/articl ... r+accounts

Manchester City Football Club has expanded its global social media presence by launching ten new international Twitter accounts.

In addition to its existing English and Arabic Twitter accounts, which are followed by in excess of 1.5m fans, the Club now offers Twitter content in Traditional Chinese, French, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Thai.

The launch follows the successful roll-out of the Club’s ten international websites in the same languages earlier this summer, which saw City extend its reach up to 80% of the world’s internet connected population. Created to cater for the Club’s growing fan base abroad, the international Twitter accounts will ensure that City supporters from more than 160 countries will now be able to access Manchester City Twitter content in their own language.

Commenting on the new international Twitter accounts, Diego Gigliani, Director of Marketing, Media and Fan Development for Manchester City Football Club, said:

“As the Club continues to attract fans from across the world and our global community grows, it’s important to find new ways to connect and engage with them in order to build deeper relationships. Translating our website into 13 languages was one step on this journey – creating another ten Twitter accounts is another.

“It’s incredible to think that fans from countries as far away from Manchester as Argentina, Indonesia, Russia or Korea will now receive tweets with Club news, videos, competitions, match-updates in real time, in their own language and typically in the palm of their hands.

“Twitter has played an integral part in the Club’s online growth in recent years, providing the Club and its players with a unique channel through which to interact with fans in creative and innovative ways. We will continue to explore the wealth of opportunities that social networks like Twitter offer.”

This sentiment was shared by Lewis Wilshire, former Head of Sport and now Media Partnerships Director for Twitter (UK), who added:

“Following your favourite club on Twitter is a great way to get closer to the action. It is fantastic to see Manchester City innovating by launching Twitter accounts in ten new international languages. It will allow fans from all over the globe to join in conversations about their club and share in the roar of the crowd.


"Over the last few years Manchester City has used Twitter in several interesting and original ways. They were the first team to put their hashtag #Together on their team bus when they won the Premier League trophy in the 2011/12 season, while Vincent Kompany’s #FollowTheCaptain initiative allowed fans to Tweet inspirational messages to the captain, which were then displayed in the team's dressing room ahead of the derby.

"The club also consistently tweets in-game coverage – enlisting the help of then injured player Micah Richards, who took over the @MCFC account to live-tweet from a game. It is great to see them extending this to new audiences around the world with these new accounts."

The new Twitter accounts bring the Club’s total multilingual digital offering to 12 Twitter accounts and 13 websites, in addition to its Mandarin Chinese social media presence in Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo

http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Club-news/20 ... ith-Jaguar

Jaguar Energy Drink UK has today announced a new partnership agreement to become the first ‘Official UK and Ireland Energy Drink Partner’ of Manchester City Football Club.

The deal with the newly-launched energy brand is the only sponsorship of its kind in the Barclays Premier League and the brand’s first taste of football sponsorship in the UK.

The sponsorship will kick-off at the top of the table clash between Manchester City and Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium on Monday 3 February.

This includes the Etihad Stadium’s corporate suites, hospitality boxes, stadium concourse kiosks and in BT City Square - the Club’s pre-match fan entertainment zone.

Following the launch, Jaguar will collaborate on a series of bespoke in-stadium and digital fan activations throughout the remainder of the season.

Dr Amit Sra, C.E.O at 1SRA LTD, Jaguar Energy Drink U.K said: "As one of the biggest football clubs in the world and one famous for its loyal and passionate fan-base, Manchester City was the only choice for Jaguar Energy Drink.

"We pride ourselves on the knowledge that once you try Jaguar Energy Drink you will become a fan for life, so we are looking forward to giving supporters their first taste of the brand at home to Chelsea. This is the start of a great journey which will see us roll-out an exciting campaign to City fans."

Tom Glick, Chief Commercial and Operating Officer for Manchester City Football Club, also commented:

"We look forward to helping them grow their brand over the coming years and are sure that Jaguar will be a big hit with our fans."

Jaguar Energy Drink (JED) is a non-alcoholic energy drink that is produced in the EU and manufactured to only the highest standard.

We aim to bring the element of luxury, sophistication and finesse of Jaguar Energy Drink to the UK market. We are confident that once you experience the premium taste of this elite brand, you too will follow our passion of ‘Once Jaguar, Always Jaguar’.

CITY v WATFORD: With great family prices for the FA Cup 4th round tie with Watford on 25 January (3pm kick-off), the Blues are expecting another bumper gate for the visit of the Hornets.

Last season, almost 47,000 packed the Etihad Stadium for the FA Cup third round tie with Watford and with kids prices starting at just £1 and adult prices starting at just £15, demand is likely to be high as the Blues look to progress to the last 16 of a competition that has seen City feature in two Wembley finals in the past three seasons.

It's only a matter of time before our Laos-exclusive noodle supplier!

http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Club-news/20 ... nouncement

Manchester City Football Club is delighted to announce a new partnership with iON Cameras.

The deal will see the brand famous for their Shoot/Share™ Wi-Fi connectivity and point-of-view (POV) cameras, become City’s Official Global Sports Action Camera Partner.

Over the course of the multi-year partnership, iON will provide City with their cutting edge cameras and state-of-the-art software, including the Air Pro 3 and the Game.

Combining their technology and exclusive first team access, iON will be able to capture unique behind-the-scenes training footage, bringing fans closer than ever to the team they love.

In addition, iON cameras will also be used to enhance supporters’ match-day experience on and off the pitch, through the installation of iON fan booths in BT City Square, the Club’s purpose built fan entertainment zone.

iON’s cameras will also be a key tool in the Club’s performance analysis and coaching platform, that will help aid skills acquisition and technical performance amongst academy and first team players.

Tricks and skills software powered by iON, will allow fans and budding players to upload their own football moves and compare themselves to City stars, such as Sergio Aguero, David Silva and Yaya Toure.

Grass roots activity at one-off iON soccer clinics will integrate the products as an educational tool to help the development of future players.

Commenting on the partnership, Tom Glick, Chief Commercial & Operating Officer for Manchester City Football Club, said:

“We’re delighted to welcome iON on board as our new Official Global Sports Action Camera Partner. iON’s camera technology and software such as the Air Pro 3 and the Game, will provide real-time POV’s into how the first-team and academy train, which can then be used by our expert performance analysis teams to gain competitive insights.

“The nature of the innovative content will also be a big hit with our fans around the world, especially during our International pre-season tours, where the cameras will play a key role.”

Giovanni Tomaselli, iON CEO, added: “iON is excited to partner with Manchester City, and we can’t wait to provide support to the club. The deal will enable us to help City coaches develop youth teams and players - part of iON’s core philosophy – and also showcase how sport and technology can work excellently hand-in-hand.

"We’re looking forward to this long-term partnership and hope the fans enjoy their up close and personal interaction with the team.”

As an SOS Ambassador, I'm deeply proud to support the charity and the invaluable work they do internationally, that has a lasting impact of the lives of some of the world's most vulnerable children.

"I've always had a keen interest in what makes the economy tick, so to be able to learn from the experts and help a great cause at the same time is a fantastic opportunity. Like football, trading shares some of the same basic principles like preparation, analysis and execution, so the project should be a lot of fun."

Arabetc - undisclosed. Maybe it's 50M a year and stick that Platini!

http://www.arabianbusiness.com/arabtec- ... 50319.html

Arabtec Holding has become the latest UAE company to sponsor Abu Dhabi-owned Manchester City Football Club after signing a three-year deal with the English Premier League Champions.

Under the deal, announced by the engineering and construction firm late Wednesday, it will gain “certain promotional rights and privileges that will reinforce its brand in MENA, Russia, India, and Serbia”, have access to “specific rights of use of the club’s brand” as well as tickets and special programmes for VIPs to attend matches and special events.

Visibility of Arabtec’s logo and promotional materials at Manchester City’s home ground, Etihad Stadium, and across the club’s digital platforms are also included in the deal.

The club, which won its second Premier League title in three years on Sunday, was acquired by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahayan's Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008.

Since then it has signed several Abu Dhabi companies as sponsors, including Etihad Airways, under a 10-year deal reportedly worth up to £400m ($670m), as well as Etisalat, the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority and Aabar Investments.

Last month, Manchester City were named the best paid team in global sport, according to Sporting intelligence’s Global Sports Salaries Survey for 2014, with an average first-team pay at City calculated at £5.3 per year, or £102,653 per week in the period under review.

However, the club is facing fines of €60m ($83.3m) and limits on their Champions League squads for next season for breaching UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules.

UEFA said earlier this month that nine unnamed clubs, thought to include Man City, faced punishment under new rules designed to force teams to limit their financial losses and make soccer more economically stable.

The club posted a loss of £51.6m ($85.4m) in its latest financial year.

Hasan Ismaik, managing director and CEO of Arabtec Holding, said the sponsorship would further boost Arabtec’s brand in the region and globally as it pushed ahead with plans to become one of the top 10 companies in the world by 2018.

“We are proud to be part of this golden time Manchester City is enjoying, with two out of its four league titles having been won under the ownership of His Highness Sheikh Mansour,” he said.

Ferran Soriano, CEO of Manchester City, welcomed the partnership with Arabtec, noting the important role of sponsorship agreements in further developing the club.

“Arabtec is an important force in its sector and across its region,” he said. “Both Manchester City and Arabtec are ambitious to become globally recognised brands. As Arabtec looks to develop and grow further across the markets which our agreement focuses on, we are looking forward to a successful relationship and to working together.”

An Arabtec spokesperson declined to comment on how much the sponsorship deal was worth when contacted by Arabian Business

Particularly interesting is the specific bit that it's MENA, Russia, India, and Serbia.

Meaning we have other deals for other regions.

This is where Platini & his mates will end up eating shit.

City will continue to secure these deals, UEFA will just change the rules every now and then to try to limit us. Platini and his ideas are pathetic and utterly transparent. The biggest question for me this season is how PSG can almost get away with it. I think part of the answer we already know.

while the Etihad deal has been agreed to be fair value, we already agreed that any increase in second tier sponsorships from Abu Dhabi will not be included in future breakeven calculations

No mention of not taking on new sponsors from Abu Dhabi as far as I can see, (no way on earth would that be legal) just not increasing the smaller related ones we already have which would destroy the effect of any sanction or wage cap before it happened.


So it has no relevence here at all & no relevence to any other future sponsorship deals . (This one has no related party by the way.)
Those regions are not mentioned by accident, we are going to see huge increases in sponsorship, as was always the case since the day this bollocks arrived, & there is fuck all UEFA can do about it.

Forgotton how to spell relevance for some reason but you know what i mean.

Can we increase the Etihad deal this year, Ted? Especially now it's been accepted and is hugely undervalued in my opinion compared to the deals the rags and arsenal have recently brokered?
