City continued to engage fans both home and abroad, providing a wide range of opportunities to engage with the Club.
Central to all activities was the Official Supporters Clubs (OSC), which stand at 405 worldwide branches. No fewer than 21 new branches were established last season, demonstrating the continued growth in the popularity of the Club.

This season, OSC branches were present in 74 different countries, with the United States (63) and China (30) the two countries with most branches outside the United Kingdom.
More than one-third of all branches attended in-person events during the season.
The pre-season tour to the United States saw City engage with more than 90 branches through fan events, matches and open training sessions.
All branches across North and Central America, as well as those overseas branches known to be travelling, were sent a bespoke flag to celebrate the tour.
Closer to home, 35 UK branches hosted the Club’s trophies at various venues across the country. Ten presentations took place on matchdays throughout the season, for OSC’s celebrating first or tenth year anniversaries.
City also celebrated the 25th anniversary of 13 branches with an event at the Etihad Stadium. More than 100 members were invited to the Chairman’s Lounge where there was live entertainment, Q&As with former players Paul Dickov and Andy Morrisson, and gift presentations of commemorative pennants.
Following the Club’s historic fourth consecutive Premier League title in the 2023-24 season, Manchester City visited 11 countries as part of its Champions 4-In-A-Row Trophy Tour. The tour, presented by Etihad Airways, provided fans from across the world with the opportunity to interact with the Premier League, FIFA Club World Cup and Community Shield trophies, in a new re-creation of the first team boot room.
Alongside match screenings with former Manchester City players, the Club hosted community days in each location, aiming to create a legacy in every city by engaging coaches from local partner organisations, grassroots football clubs, schools and volunteer networks.
