For an annual membership fee of £20, kids also receive a welcome pack which includes a baseball cap, drawstring bag, water bottle, wristband, a bi-annual City Kicks magazine, and a membership clever card.
When members explore the site they collect City Stars, which will give them the opportunity to enter into competitions and also unlock player statistics. They also have the chance to win an interview with a player or be a match day mascot, leading the team onto the famous Etihad Stadium pitch.

Manchester City’s defender and City Kicks Ambassador, Micah Richards, has his own section on the website known as ‘Micah’s Corner’, which includes behind-the-scenes blogs. With regard to the new scheme, Richards said: “I’m thrilled to be involved in this new City Kicks junior membership. I know from my personal experiences as a 14-year-old youth squad player how inspiring it is for young fans to be made to feel a part of this great club from an early age.”
