Alongside the trophy, customers at the store this weekend will have also have access to giveaways and be some of the first fans to experience the new digital activities within the store, including the ‘Meet the Players’ interactive video wall.

The club shop will sit alongside the shopping centre’s popular sports and leisure stores such as Footlocker and JD Sports, as well as Sports Direct’s newly opened flagship store in the former BHS unit.

Manchester City director of integrated fan experience and retail & licensing Serena Gosling said: “It is hugely exciting for us to launch our brand new City Store in Manchester Arndale – another important development in what has been an incredible year of retail sales for the club, and continues to strengthen.

“Our fans are at the heart of everything we do and we are delighted to offer more opportunities for fans to interact with the club beyond the Etihad Campus, including some engaging fan activities available in the new store.

“The Manchester Arndale store launch is a proud development for the club, and I’d like to thank our retail partner Stichd and its staff for their support in opening this new store. I’d also like to thank them for their commitment to helping us continue to offer a best-in-class retail service for our fans and members.”
