How the Manchester City x Sofive programs develop players
Manchester City and Sofive have been long-time partners to provide the best soccer experience and training to kids in the US. Since 2015, we have been delivering classes to hundreds of children, bringing them proper soccer training from one of the best club in the world, while fostering fun, self-confidence and teamwork.
The Manchester City x Sofive programs allow players to improve their individual skills and decision making while learning the fundamentals of the game. This philosophy provides players with the platform to develop their understanding of the game and prepare them for 11v11 soccer in the future.
Partnering with Manchester City is also a way to offer players great experiences as they frequently host events at Sofive. For instance, the annual Winter Cup (a one-day tournament) allows children to experience friendly competitive soccer, while other events will bring City legends, like Shaun Wright-Phillips in our centers.

Celebrating soccer with the annual Manchester City 5V5 Winter Cup
The world of soccer is much more than technical skills and mastery of the field. Soccer is about community, celebration, competition and passion. This is why we are proud to partner with Manchester City every year to organize the 5v5 Winter Cup. Held around President's Day, this one-day tournament is the perfect opportunity for young players to experience competitive soccer in a friendly environment. It's also a great way for them to connect with one of the best soccer club in the world and all the hype it can bring from freestylers to DJs, raffles for goodies or even a trip to Manchester!
