Throughout the next phase of this partnership QNET will continue to provide City-led football clinics to communities around the world, as well as engaging with consumers and distributors through this relationship with City.

To celebrate this announcement, QNET has launched a limited edition ‘QNETCity Champions’ watch designed and produced by master craftsmen in Switzerland.

"This partnership made history when QNET became the first sleeve partner in the Women’s Super League and we are excited to embark on another chapter together."

QNET’s chief executive officer Malou Caluza said: "This is a valued partnership for both QNET and Manchester City because performance is core to both the brands.

"We are both driven to succeed through hard work, passion and dedication.

"Through this partnership, we’ve had the opportunity to send children from low income families from different parts of the world to Manchester, for football training camps and English language schools, which has been truly life changing for many of these kids.

"We hope to continue working together and finding new innovative ways to engage with and reach out to our fans."

Gavin Makel, Manchester City’s Head of Women’s Football expresses the team’s delight to be be working with QNET. “The women’s team at Manchester City is delighted to partner with QNET who are leaders in their industry. Women’s football is on the rise and connecting with our growing fan base in Asia, where QNET has a strong presence, is important to everyone at the Club. Working together with QNET, we hope we can bring the magic of women’s football to even more people and provide our supporters across the globe with the opportunity to get even closer to Manchester City’s women’s team.” says Gavin.

“QNET has been empowering entrepreneurs for 20 years now, and we have a strong female salesforce. We are truly proud to be teaming up with Manchester City in the female sports sponsorship arena as the first-ever sleeve sponsor of a FA Women’s Super League 1 team. This is a major step for us, and it sends a strong signal that QNET is committed to empowering women across the globe.

Manchester City’s values resonate with our own, and we were particularly inspired by their Same City, Same Passion campaign launched earlier this year. We too believe the skills, determination and passion are the same for both men and women regardless of whether it’s in football or direct sales.” says Trevor Kuna, Chief Executive Officer, QNET.
