Man City Unveils Travel Partner & Kit Launch

Thomson Sport, an arm of global travel provider TUI Travel, has signed a three-year deal with Premier League champions Manchester City – who have also launched the new kit for 2014/15.

The deal sees Thomson Sport become the club’s official travel provider, and will provide City fans with official match break packages for all matches at their home, the Etihad Stadium, as well as a range of travel packages for European away matches.

A typical match break package includes accommodation, a stadium tour, match programme and match ticket.

Nathan Wilson, sales and marketing director for TUI Event Group, said: ‘This is a fantastic deal for the division and the Thomson Sport Travel brand. Manchester City Football Club is innovative and success driven – attributes that we at TUI Travel consider key drivers for our business growth.’

‘We are very excited about the potential and looking forward to delivering exceptional travel experiences for the club’s supporters.’

Danny Wilson, director of sales, service and operations for Manchester City, added: ‘As the Club’s profile continues to grow in new markets around the world, it was important to work with a company that has a robust global network of connections.’

‘Through teaming up with Thomson Sport, we can ensure our supporters will be provided with the best possible service, whether following the team at home or abroad.’

Meanwhile, the new kit – available to pre-order from today – has also been launched by the club and kit supplier Nike. 

According to the club, Nike took 3D body scans of many of the world’s leading footballers to create a kit with an updated and perfect new fit.
