City seeks to expand grassroots football development, fan growth and commercial activity across China
City Football Group (CFG), the owner of football clubs, including Premier League Champions Manchester City, and football-related businesses in major cities around the world, has become the first global football organisation to open a second hub in China, as it launched a new office in Shenzhen. CFG, which is minority owned by a China Media Capital-led consortium, was the first non-Chinese club to open a mainland office, in Shanghai in March 2016.
CFG executives were joined at One Shenzhen Bay by Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, who visited Shenzhen at the end of a trade delegation to China.
