City fans get first glimpse of 2025/26 PUMA Home kit
Around 100 lucky fans were the first to see next season's PUMA Home kit in a special event at Clayton Social Club in Manchester on Monday evening.
The new strip will be released globally at 08:00 (UK) on Tuesday 13 May on mancity.com and our official app.

The launch video was filmed at the social club – just a mile from the Etihad Stadium - where the Clayton Official Supporters Club branch regularly meet before and after games to share stories about following City.
Incorporating dozens of historic artefacts from our 131-year existence as Manchester City and several players past and present, the video plays on a traditional evening's entertainment provided at a typical northern social club.

Ahead of the international release, members of several local Supporters Club branches were invited back to the scene to see the kit and hear from those involved in bringing the concept to life.

The event was compered by stadium matchday presenter Danny Jackson.
Speaking to Jackson on stage, Clayton Social Club's Treasurer Grahame Birtles said: "It was absolutely amazing to have City filming here. I got an email on the 19 January asking about the Club and I thought it was a scam!
"They transformed the Club for a two-day shoot in February and it was wonderful to see the effort City put into the whole thing.
"Manchester City have kept this Club, which is now 135 years old, open with the matchday trade so it's very important to us and we're delighted they continue to support us."
Serena Gosling, City's Director of Integrated Fan Experience and Retail & Licensing, also took to the stage with Birtles and Jackson.

'We're very proud of this kit and excited to see the response it gets," she began.
'This is the most ambitious film we've done to publicise a new shirt too.
"We had current players from the men's and women's team involved as well as some of the legends of the past.
'But the big driver was to bring the spirit of the north west and social clubs to the rest of the world.
'City was founded in east Manchester so we wanted to go back to that community. Hopefully this is something that people can relate to wherever they are.
'We used our amazing archive to build on that authentic feel, with items from Maine Road and all of City's history dotted throughout the video.'
That sentiment was echoed by film director Glenn Kitson, who said: "It's great to be working with City again. It's always a pleasure.

"I feel they fully understand the need to represent Manchester beyond the usual cliches.
"The club ethos is community led and not flashy. It always helps when you're working with great creative - with the team at PUMA Creative, it feels genuinely integrated."
The men's first team will wear the new Home kit at this summer's FIFA Club World Cup, taking place in the USA ahead of the 2025/26 domestic season.

Messi Will Battle Father Time To Perform More Magic In Club World Cup
CINCINNATI, OHIO - AUGUST 23: Lionel Messi #10 of Inter Miami CF celebrates after teammate Leonardo ... More Campana #9 scored his second goal against the FC Cincinnati during the second half in the 2023 U.S. Open Cup semifinal match at TQL Stadium on August 23, 2023 in Cincinnati, Ohio. (Photo by) With Inter Miami CF in Major League Soccer, Lionel Messi has demonstrated he has some gas left in his proverbial tank. He has demonstrated moments of brilliance, whether he scores a goal or sets up a teammate for one. He is coming off a span in which he was named MLS Man of the Matchday on two consecutive times, a rare feat, even for someone as great as Messi. He also has 16 goals contributions (10 goals and six assists) in 13 matches. Now, the Argentine superstar and his Miami teammates faces a greater challenge in the FIFA Club World Cup, a competition that brings together many of the best club sides in the world. Performing magic in MLS is one thing, doing it on the world stage against better opponents is a demanding level, especially for an attacking player closer to 40 years old. As lethal Messi can be in finding the net, there are many observers he is more dangerous in finding open teammates for scoring opportunities. When you're getting double- or triple-teamed many times means there is someone with space out there. Messi has been around the block to know once he releases the ball, the pressure on him will alleviate just a bit for him to find room to roam or run. And he is confident enough to know that he eventually will get the ball back in perhaps a position where he can do some serious damage. FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA - MARCH 02: Lionel Messi #10 of Inter Miami CF celebrates with Jordi Alba ... More #18 after scoring a goal during the second half against the Orlando City SC at Chase Stadium on March 02, 2024 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. (Photo by) 'It's a privilege for me and I've always said this: having Leo makes a team better and, in this case, it's also made me a better player,' said Inter Miami teammate and defender Jordi Alba, who played with the Argentine on Barcelona's star-studded championship sides in Spain. Midfielder Sergio Busquets, another former Barca teammate who also plays with him on Inter Miami, had similar sentiments. 'I don't think there's another player out there as complete and as capable of making a difference as he is, nor do I think there has ever been," he said "He is fantastic, and few are close to his level.' FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA - NOVEMBER 10: Lionel Messi #10 of Inter Miami CF hoist his trophy during ... More the Ballon d'Or trophy presentation at DRV PNK Stadium on November 10, 2023 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. (Photo by) Messi, who won his elusive World Cup championship in 2022, has a slew of individual honors, including FIFA player of the year eight times. If we listed the rest of them here, it probably would break the internet. On Saturday, June 14, Messi and Inter Miami begin their third competition of the year when they face Al-Ahly (Egypt) in the opening game of the FIFA Club World Cup at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla. They will meet on Porto (Brazil) in Atlanta on Thursday, June 19 and then Palmeiras (Brazil) back in Miami Gardens on Monday, June 23 to close out Group A. The top two teams in each of the eight groups will qualify for the Round of 16. From there, the degree of difficulty will become greater. It should be noted that Messi has celebrated success three times in previous Club World Cups, while playing with Barcelona. Those competitions were much smaller in length, but a world championship is a world championship. In 2009, Messi scored the extra-time game-winner in a 2-1 triumph over Estudiantes in the final. Two years later, he connected for a brace as Barca registered a 4-0 victory over Santos. In 2015, Messi started the Spanish giants to a 3-0 win over River Plate. In five CWC matches, he has recorded five goals and five assists. That is a difficult act to follow, even for Messi in a much longer and demanding tournament. NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE - MARCH 07: Lionel Messi #10 of Inter Miami CF reacts after suffering an injury ... More against Nashville SC during the second half during the Concacaf Champions Cup Leg One Round of 16 match at GEODIS Park on March 07, 2024 in Nashville, Tennessee. (Photo by) Beyond his God-given talents, Messi is no spring chicken. On June 24, he will turn 38, which is considered ancient on the international level for an attacking player. If there is one enemy that any athlete can't defeat, it's Father Time. It catches up to everyone. A forward who loses a step can go from a star to an ordinary player, and the entire world can see it live. That can be devasting at the highest level of international soccer, where the margins can be so thin between putting a dangerous ball on goal and failing to attempt a decent shot. In MLS, we haven't seen that too many times. But there is another factor with age: injuries and knocks. Older players tend to take longer to recover from them. If you're playing once a week, that might be enough time to recover to stand out in the next game. In a competition such as the Club World Cup, where teams play once every four or five days, players don't have that luxury. KINGSTON, JAMAICA - MARCH 13: Javier Mascherano, Head Coach of Inter Miami CF, talks to his player ... More Lionel Messi #10 before entering the pitch during the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup Round of 16 Second Leg match between Cavalier SC and Inter Miami CF at The Jamaican National Stadium on March 13, 2025 in Kingston, Jamaica. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images) It will be up to Inter Miami head coach Javier Mascherano, a former Argentine national team teammate of Messi, to figure out the right formula for his star, if he wants his team to go deep in the competition. Messi isn't the lone aging star on Miami; he is joined by former Spanish internationals Busquets (36) and JAlba (36) and Uruguayan standout Luis Suarez (38). Mascherano understands that the MLS regular season is a marathon, whereas cup competitions are a sprint. Miami fell to the Vancouver Whitecaps in the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinals this spring. "The MLS season allows you to fail in certain games -- the knockout phase of a continental league doesn't; it means you're out," Mascherano said earlier this year. "But the CCC playoffs prepare you for what's coming in October with the playoffs. In the end, the MLS is a long season that ultimately boils down to a continental cup where knockout phases are the norm, and in the end, you can't fail." We'll see how Mascherano manages Miami, Messi and his friends this month, starting on Saturday night.

Come for free, fan forever? How Sounders' ticket gamble is filling seats ahead of Club World Cup
In a time of great change, how do you appeal to new fans? If you're the Seattle Sounders FC, you let them come for free. The Sounders are at a turning point. The arrival of the FIFA Club World Cup, which the Sounders are participating in and hosting, offers a chance to revitalize the team after years of declining attendance (despite the pay-based controversy surrounding it). And next summer, Seattle will also be a host city for the 2026 World Cup, another huge opportunity to tap into the soccer craze. Advertisement And the club is tapping in: In February, the Sounders announced their First Match On Us promotion, a unique approach to bringing in new fans. It offers free tickets — no payment, no fees, no putting in your credit card so they can charge you later — to those who have never been to a Sounders match before. In an interview with Yahoo Sports, Ashley Fosberg, the Sounders' chief impact and fan engagement officer, said that making the tickets completely free was the core of the promotion. 'We didn't want to have any barriers. If 'it's free, but,' or 'it's not free, come try us and pay a little bit,' it doesn't have the same resonance, it doesn't draw,' Fosberg said. 'We want them to come sample us.' But at the same time, Fosberg said, they wanted the promotion to come with 'no expectations.' Advertisement 'We're really clear about that. We didn't want it to come with any conditions,' she added. Kaitlin Bailey, the Sounders' vice president of business strategy and analytics, told Yahoo Sports that it was something of an investment in future fans. 'When we were looking at the build of the program, we really wanted 'free' to mean 'free,'' Bailey said. 'It's a cost we were willing to incur as a club, in our commitment to growing the sport in Seattle, and our commitment to the belief that if you come experience it, you'll come back.' Though it's still relatively early, both Fosberg and Bailey said that the program has been a great success so far. Starting with the team's game on March 22, around 1,000 new fans have come to each of the Sounders' home matches through the First Match on Us program. The club also exceeded its goal of 10,000 RSVPs within the first month of the season. Advertisement (Notably, the promotion might be catching on throughout MLS: On Thursday, Nashville SC announced a very similar program, 'Locals Only,' that allows local residents to attend their first match free of charge.) For the Sounders, it's an investment that the club is willing to make moving forward as well: Bailey said that the club has committed to continuing the program through 2026. 'It was sort of our commitment, both to our [season ticket] members and to the sport, to have this entry point,' Bailey said. 'We really believe that if you come and feel what the energy of a Sounders matchday is, that you're gonna fall in love with it.' Seattle Sounders FC fans cheers during the MLS match against the San Diego FC at Lumen Field on May 28, 2025 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by) (Soobum Im via Getty Images) 'A massive opportunity for growth' Heading into the next two summers, Seattle is in an incredibly unique position. The Sounders are one of three MLS teams participating in the Club World Cup, and one of only two (along with Inter Miami) that is also hosting the club's matches. Seattle and Miami are both host cities for the 2026 World Cup, too. Advertisement 'It's an opportunity right in our lap,' Fosberg said. These two major summers come at an opportune time for the Sounders, who are trying to rebuild their fan base amid declining attendance. For nearly a decade, Seattle boasted the best attendance in MLS: Average attendance peaked in the 40,000s throughout the 2010s, a span when the Sounders won the MLS Supporters' Shield and two MLS Cups. But after the COVID-19 pandemic, those numbers started to slip. Last season, the Sounders' average attendance dropped to 30,754, per Sports Business Journal — still larger than most teams in MLS, but a notable difference from a decade ago. In Seattle's Lumen Field, a stadium that also hosts the NFL's Seattle Seahawks and can hold up to 68,740 fans, that shrinking crowd can look especially stark. 'We have a challenge: We play in an NFL stadium. And we want to make sure that the atmosphere is electric still,' Bailey said. 'So we saw this as an opportunity both to show the accessibility of the game, and also bring back the experience that we had when we first entered the league.' Advertisement The club held focus groups with season-ticket holders, per Bailey. From those sessions, the Sounders determined that fans wanted to refill the stadiums, while also providing an entry point for new fans. The Club World Cup will serve as part of that opportunity, though the Sounders aren't projected to make it past the group stage. Bailey admitted that the Sounders don't have a lot of control over the tournament and that FIFA was running ticket sales, among other things. (In the week leading up to the first game in Seattle, FIFA has closed multiple sections and offered partial refunds to some ticket holders.) As a result, Bailey clarified that the club isn't thinking of those two tournaments as the end point of this promotion. 'I don't think that we looked at this program as the roadmap with the finish line as Club World Cup, or World Cup,' Bailey said. 'By opening the aperture a bit to reach more fans during these key moments is vitally important for the business, but also I think that the markers of Club World Cup and World Cup weren't the basis of doing the program.' Advertisement But both Fosberg and Bailey noted that the timing was also important, as the World Cup often works as an entry point into an interest in soccer as a whole. 'We know that viewership, ticket sales, attendance go up in World Cup years. People get addicted to the sport,' Fosberg said. 'Whether it be on TV, or they [are] at a neighborhood watch party, at a pub watch party, or if they're lucky enough to go to a match, you can't help but experience soccer in the global fever of soccer during a World Cup year. So that is our responsibility to make sure that translates to the local team. 'I know that all MLS teams have the same mindset: It's a moment to capture, to just share and grow the love of the sport,' she added. Seattle Sounders wave to fans after the MLS match between the Seattle Sounders and the St. Louis City at Lumen Field on May 03, 2025 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by) (Ryan Sun via Getty Images) 'A very diverse and varied group' There hasn't been quite enough time to do a full analysis, but Fosberg and Bailey said that they have an idea of who's taking advantage of the promotion. Advertisement 'Visually, anecdotally, it's all over the board. Young, old, kids, no kids, groups, singles,' Fosberg said. 'It's a very diverse and varied group, which is exactly perfect for soccer.' That was apparent in speaking to First Match On Us fans at the Sounders' match against San Diego FC on May 28. The fans, marked by their green and black scarves (given out for free as part of the promotion), were everywhere on the concourse, scattered throughout the crowd at the unseasonably warm, oddly early 5:30 p.m. match. And they all had different reasons for being there. Some fans were longtime Seattle residents, others new to the city, and even some who were visiting for the week. Some were soccer fans, but were loyal to other teams; some played soccer, some didn't care much for the sport at all. Some were Sounders fans, but hadn't seen the games in person. There were people of all ages, including teenagers, and kids there with their parents. They heard about the promotion through TikTok, Instagram, club emails, billboards. (A few had already been to Sounders games, but on another person's ticket, so their name did not get flagged in the club's system as a repeat attendee.) Advertisement One couple, Andrea and Kevin S., who asked that their last name not be used, took the tickets as part of a larger quest to try out events in the Seattle area. Andrea, a recent transplant, said she wanted to do 'all the experiences' the city had to offer. 'The fact that it was a complimentary ticket was enticing,' Andrea said. Several of them wanted to see lots of goals, or a Sounders win. (Seattle would go on to beat San Diego, 1-0.) But most just wanted to be there to test out, in the words of one fan, 'the stadium's energy.' And, of course, because it was free. 'We're always looking for a good deal,' said Carly Hanson, a fan on the concourse with her boyfriend Kyle Sneddon.

(Photo by Jeff Halstead/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) (Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) The matchday experience In addition to the idea of First Match On Us, it turned into a larger conversation about creating a matchday experience for a new attendee. Advertisement 'We wanted to seize the moment that we're in,' Fosberg said. 'We knew that we had room to grow, and so the idea was generated out of that. It was sort of a what-if moment: What if we invited people who had never been before to come try us out? And what if we hosted them? And what kind of experience would we want them to have, and how can we engage them in ultimately being a Sounders fan and a soccer fan? So that was the origin story of First Match On Us.' To make games more welcoming for new fans, the Sounders adjusted some key aspects of the in-game experience. A pregame video explains some of the basic rules of soccer. A ferry horn signals to fans when it's time to take their seats. Text scrolls across the screen to tell fans when and what to yell. When picking their tickets, fans get a chance to request their seats based on what's available and what kind of game they are hoping for: a chance to sit (or, more realistically, stand) in the Emerald City Supporters' section, a family-friendly seat, or any of the best available seating. And then there's the scarves, which are handed out to First Match On Us fans ahead of the game. Team scarves, a long-time soccer tradition that began in Europe, are a key part of any soccer fan base. The Sounders, like many teams, have a 'scarves up' call at the beginning of the match; the free scarves allow new fans to participate without having to pay $35 for a new scarf. Advertisement 'I think we really feel like this is a full fan journey to experience, and I think that's maybe the differentiator, [rather] than throwing a ticket your way and hoping for the best,' Bailey said. 'I think that's what we're most proud of.' The hope with all of this is to send First Match On Us fans back out of the stadium with plans to return. Per Bailey, the Sounders' goal is to help turn a first-time attendee into a fan with a few curated moves. 'There's studies that say ways that drive fandom are: You attend a match, you buy a kit, you watch the team on TV, you know who some of the star players are. And so for us, we then can say, 'Alright you've attended a match. What are some other indicators of fandom that we can help drive?'' Bailey said. 'How can we get you to watch the next match, if it's an away match? And so we've partnered with MLS Season Pass to offer a one-month free trial, so that you can continue to watch the team on TV. And then we are exploring merch discounts that follow as well. 'That's sort of the next step in the journey, is 'Yes, we want you to come back,'' she continued, 'but also, 'how do we continue to engage that fandom?'' Seattle Sounders fans hold up their scarves before the game against the Los Angeles FC at Lumen Field on March 8, 2025 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by) (Steph Chambers via Getty Images) Success It's still relatively early in the process, but Fosberg and Bailey both say that the project has been a big success in a short period of time. With the MLS season just over halfway done, the Sounders have welcomed approximately 6,000 new fans across six home games. Advertisement 'We're really happy with how the market has responded — that there's interest, that there's engagement. This is exceeding expectations and giving us a lot of hope for how we continue to bring fans in,' Bailey said. Fosberg said that, in addition to exceeding their goal for RSVPs, they've also had great success with the people who show up after claiming their tickets. 'When you give a comp ticket, sometimes you don't expect as many as you give out to attend. In this case, we're seeing 70-80% show rate, which is really high,' Fosberg said. 'It's reaching the right people, we're actually communicating the right way to make sure they wanna come. So that's really encouraging.' The club plans to do more analysis and market research on the participants over the summer. Per Bailey, retention will be 'a key metric' going forward — 'not just who came in the building, but who came back,' she said. Advertisement Though the club is committed to running First Match On Us through 2026, Bailey hopes the promotion will continue to grow past that. 'We really are looking at it as just the beginning," Bailey said. "This is a multi-year commitment to grow the game."

Summer Sizzles: Grealish, Gyokeres, and Sané headline football's transfer drama
After the introduction of a brief mini-window, the summer window will open for good next week and the air is crackling with transfer speculation. Amid the endless back-and-forth of rumours, we've dived into the narratives surrounding three names have taken centre stage: Jack Grealish, Viktor Gyökeres, and Leroy Sané. Advertisement All different players, in different situations, but all dominating headlines. The transfer market is unpredictable, but the human stories beneath the speculation are what make this summer's rumours impossible to ignore. Jack Grealish: Searching for a Second Act A couple of years ago, Jack Grealish was the £100 million man—Manchester City's record signing, the stylish winger who brought Aston Villa back to the Premier League, and a player who looked certain to become a club legend. But football is a fast-moving business, and fortunes can change quickly. After a season in which Grealish was mostly relegated to the City bench, making just one start in the final 21 matches, it's clear that both player and club are considering a fresh start. What went wrong? Partly, it's the story of a club overloaded with talent and a manager constantly tinkering with the starting XI. Injuries didn't help, nor did the pressure that comes with a nine-figure transfer fee. But most of all, Grealish never seemed to recapture the confidence and form that made him Villa's talisman. Advertisement Now, as England looks ahead to the 2026 World Cup, Grealish knows he needs regular minutes. Clubs across England and Europe are watching closely. Tottenham Hotspur seem the most serious contenders. Spurs, who can offer Champions League football and a guaranteed place in the starting lineup, are in need of a creative spark. Grealish, for his part, is said to be interested—he knows North London could be the ideal stage for his revival. Everton and his old club Aston Villa have expressed interest, but their budgets might not stretch to City's demands. City wants at least £50 million, plus partial wage coverage if it's a loan. Meanwhile, clubs like AC Milan, Napoli, Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan, and even Saudi Pro League's Al Qadsiah have entered the conversation. Still, Grealish reportedly wants to stay in Europe. For Grealish, this summer is about more than just money or trophies—it's about finding a place where he's trusted, valued, and given the chance to shine again. Viktor Gyökeres: Sporting's Reluctant Superstar If you want to know what true demand looks like, just follow the story of Viktor Gyökeres. The Swedish striker has become Sporting CP's undisputed star, smashing in just shy of 100 goals in two seasons – an astonishing 68 goals in 66 games in his most recent campaign. In a football world obsessed with numbers, those stats make everyone sit up and pay attention. Advertisement It's no wonder, then, that Gyökeres is at the top of almost every big club's wish list. Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Juventus, and even Real Madrid are reportedly monitoring his situation. There's just one problem: Sporting aren't eager to let their main man go. Gyökeres believed there was a 'gentleman's agreement' that would allow him to leave for around €60 million plus add-ons, but the club's president, Frederico Varandas, has denied any such arrangement. For Sporting, there's no bargain—he's only leaving if the price is right, and that price may climb higher than most expected. Behind the scenes, there's some tension. Reports claim Gyökeres is frustrated, perhaps feeling the club has gone back on its word. He still has a contract running until 2028, which puts Sporting firmly in the driver's seat. Manchester United might circle back if they can't land another top striker, while Arsenal's attention has shifted to other targets. Advertisement It's a classic transfer window standoff: will Sporting hold their nerve, or will someone make an irresistible offer? For Gyökeres, the right move this summer could launch him into true superstardom—if he chooses wisely. Leroy Sané: Galatasaray's latest marquee man Compared to the wild headlines around Grealish and Gyökeres, Leroy Sané's story has been a little quieter – but it's no less intriguing. Bayern Munich, as ever, are retooling their squad after a disappointing Champions League season. Sané, immensely talented but sometimes inconsistent, is the sort of player who could transform a side if everything clicks. But with Bayern rumoured to be shopping for new wingers and keeping a close eye on their wage bill, Sané has headed for the exit door. Galatasaray have swooped in ahead of English clubs to land the German in a statement signing. Just a year after the stunning capture of Victor Osimhen on loan, the Turkish Süper Lig side have signed Sane on a lucrative contract. The Istanbul outfit are hopeful that the Sane signing can persuade Osimhen to return permanently, as Galatasaray look to put Turkish football firmly on the European map. The Pulse of the Transfer Market In a summer full of rumour and speculation, it's easy to get lost in the noise. That's why so many football fans turn to platforms like NerdyTips for clear, up-to-date analysis and practical guidance on what each transfer might mean for club and player alike. Advertisement NerdyTips stands out for its deep dives into football trends, transfer updates, and tactical insights—making it a go-to resource for anyone who wants to move beyond the headlines and understand the bigger picture of the football world. If you're keeping tabs on the transfer buzz or just want the best football analysis in one place, it's a name worth bookmarking. What's at Stake This Summer? For Grealish, the next move will likely define his career. If he gets regular starts at a big club, he has every chance to secure a spot in England's 2026 World Cup squad. If not, he risks being left behind as new stars emerge. Gyökeres, meanwhile, stands at a crossroads. Sporting want to keep him, but every club has its price. If the right offer comes in, and the club softens its stance, he could soon be leading the line for one of Europe's giants. If not, another season in Portugal beckons, with unfinished business on the agenda. Advertisement Sané's situation is fascinating. Still just 29, he is a remarkable coup for Turkish football. How he performs in front of a fanatical Galatasaray fanbase will be an intriguing watch. The summer transfer window never fails to deliver drama, and this year is no exception. Grealish is searching for a new beginning, Gyökeres is a star on the verge of a major move, and Sané has taken on an unforeseen challenge. These stories matter not just for the clubs involved, but for the shape of next season's competitions. With a summer like this, you won't want to miss a thing.
