Manchester City Women

To mark the seven-year anniversary of the launch of our women’s team as a professional outfit, we are looking back on an astonishing seven years in celebration with Etihad Airways.

Manchester City Women were relaunched in January 2014 and what a journey it has been so far. Under the management of Nick Cushing and Gareth Taylor, we’ve won seven trophies in as many years, and have proudly played our part to help the women’s game grow substantially with each passing season.

This commemorative digital album looks back at the memories we’ve shared together so far: Club, players and fans. We really appreciate your support and look forward to sharing even more of these memories with you in the next seven years and beyond!
