Global sports company PUMA and Manchester City have today announced the launch of a pre-match kit range to celebrate girls and womenfootball players in Manchester.
The striking new design is inspired by Mancunian Emmeline Pankhurst and sees PUMA join forces with the club’s charity, ‘City in the Community’, to accelerate access to football for girls across Greater Manchester.
For the sixth consecutive year, Manchester City will be running the ‘Same City Same Passion’ campaign that will inspire young girls across the world to play football. PUMA will provide the girls with footballs and since 2018, PUMA and Manchester City have provided over 6000 footballs worldwide for girls. This year the PUMA footballs will feature a limited-edition Pankhurst-inspired design of the pre-match range.
“The new Manchester City pre-match collection is a great opportunity for PUMA to continue our support for women’s football and to celebrate inspirational women, past and present,” said Marco Mueller, PUMA Senior Head of Product Line Management Apparel Licensed. “The collection is inspired by Manchester’s own Emmeline Pankhurst and is the perfect project for PUMA to partner with the charity ‘City in the Community’ to provide equipment and free football sessions for girls in the community.”
The Manchester City pre-match collection is available from March 3 rd at PUMA stores, PUMA .com, the City store at the Etihad Stadium Store, mancity.com/shop and at select retailers worldwide.
