It marks a major milestone for the new Women’s Super League champions, and is one of the largest investments ever in a dedicated women’s football facility.
Purpose-built for elite, professional football, the new centre features incredible technology and should help City’s women continue their rapid rise to the top of the women’s game.

“Shaped with input from first team players and staff, the facility has been created to be a dedicated new home for the squad. It includes social areas and personal touches, such as images of the players and their families, while the names of every player with more than 100 appearances are proudly displayed alongside all nine trophies won by the Club.”
Also on-site at the facility is the 7,000-capacity Joie Stadium, the first purpose-built stadium in the Women’s Super League.
Man City chairman visits new women’s training facility
In honour of the grand opening, Man City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak travelled to visit the new facility in person.
Commenting on his visit, he said: “This new facility marks the next logical step in our long-term commitment to Manchester City Women, and is an important milestone for the club as a whole.
“We have always believed in investing to create the right environment for players and staff to develop and succeed. That approach has underpinned every aspect of our work since the professional relaunch of Manchester City Women in 2014.
“The facility therefore, rightly reflects the scale of our ambition for Manchester City Women and our long-term belief in the future of the women’s game.”
Manchester City has today opened a new £10 million state-of-the-art facility for its Women’s First Team at the City Football Academy.

“It is also a clear statement of our ambition to continue to develop and attract the very best talent in world football.”
