Manchester City signs cryptocurrency platform OKX as Official Training Kit Partner

Manchester City has signed cryptocurrency platform OKX as the club’s Official Training Kit Partner for the 2022/23 season. The agreement will see OKX featured across the training kit of the Manchester City men’s and women’s first teams. The men’s first team will debut the training kit when returning for their first pre-season training session, with the women’s team wearing the kit on their return to training next month. OKX was announced as Manchester City’s Official Cryptocurrency Exchange Partner in March.

Commenting on the deal, Roel de Vries, Group Chief Operating Officer, City Football Group, said: “Since the initial partnership began in March 2022, we have worked together to ‘supercharge the fan experience’ through a number of exciting content activations ahead of high-profile fixtures during the culmination of the 2021/22 season and we look forward to continuing to develop these opportunities over the coming year.”

In line with the training kit announcement, OKX has commissioned street artist Akse P19 and Global Street Art Agency to create artworks featuring Erling Haaland, Jack Grealish, João Cancelo and John Stones across four locations in Manchester. The murals will be fitted out with QR codes that fans can scan for a chance to win their very own season ticket in the OKX Hospitality Box.

OKX is also the presenting partner of Manchester City’s first global Trophy Tour since 2019 following the club’s fourth title win in five years. The tour will see Manchester City and OKX take the Premier League trophy to the doorsteps of fans in markets including France, Spain, the UAE, Korea, and for the first time ever – Mexico, Norway and South Africa.
