City Football Group and Nissan have extended their global partnership that will see the carmaker continue to be the Official Automotive Partner of the group and its football teams in the UK, US and Australia, reports www.fcbusiness.co.uk
The announcement comes as City Football Group's Premier League team, Manchester City, prepares to arrive in Japan for the last leg of its preseason tour of Asia. The tour culminates with a sold-out July 27 match at Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, where the team will take on the J-League's Yokohama F. Marinos, which is owned by Nissan and in which City Football Group holds a minority stake.
City Football Group and Nissan have been partners since 2014. The carmaker was City Football Group's first multi-club partner, working with Manchester City, Major League Soccer's New York City FC, and the A-League's Melbourne City FC.
As part of the extended partnership, Manchester City Manager Pep Guardiola has been named a Nissan ambassador.
Nissan will continue its high-profile presence at all Manchester City men's and women's games at the Etihad Stadium and Academy Stadium; at New York City FC's games at the Yankee Stadium; and at Melbourne City FC's matches at AAMI Park.
