To mark International Women’s Day, Manchester City announced the launch of its Same City Same Passion campaign, now in its sixth year running, to promote inclusivity and female participation in football.
The Same City Same Passion campaign will help inspire young girls across the globe to play football with free PUMA footballs. Through the campaign, anyone can send a girl they know, that’s passionate about football, a free PUMA football by nominating her on the Manchester City website to inspire and encourage her to play the sport.
Since 2018, the club has provided over 6,000 footballs worldwide as part of the movement with 315 young female players entering the Same City Same Passion campaign last year from the UAE.
As part of last year’s edition of the campaign, the club hosted exclusive pop-up events at Expo 2020 Dubai and Yas Mall in Abu Dhabi with visits from Karen Bardsley, Esme Morgan and Laura Coombs from Manchester City Women’s first team engaging fans and inspiring a new generation of female participation in the sport from the region.
In addition to the Same City Same Passion campaign, and as part of Manchester City’s International Women’s Day celebrations, the club have launched a unique kit range design inspired by Mancunian Emmeline Pankhurst. This new kit design sees PUMA join forces with the club’s charity, City in the Community (CITC), to accelerate access to girls’ football across Greater Manchester.
Fans can participate in the Same City Same Passion campaign by visiting the Manchester City website and nominating a girl they know, who’s passionate about football, to receive a limited-edition free PUMA football.
