BYD Group and Manchester City Football Club have joined forces in a move that links the automotive giant to the ‘iconic’ UK football team. This collaboration is meant to serve as a projection of shared sustainable values for the future of both brands.

“Manchester City stands for excellence, innovation and the courage to push beyond limits – values that are deeply rooted in BYD’s DNA,” said Stella Li, BYD Executive Vice President.  

Li added, “This partnership is about more than football or mobility; it is about inspiring people around the world through technology that excites, connects and drives a more sustainable future.” 

The club itself will have access to BYD, Denza, and other BYD group vehicles for transportation needs and full access to BYD’s ‘new-energy expertise’. This will be provided in the form of vehicle charging and energy battery storage at the Manchester City Football Academy training centre, which is home to the men’s, women’s, and academy teams.

Chief Executive Officer at Manchester City Football Group, Ferran Soriano, stated, “BYD are global leaders within their field. Leaders in delivering excellence through technology and innovation. This is why we are so proud to be BYD’s chosen partner and commit to work together for a better and more sustainable future for the duration of this multi-year partnership.”
