Man City agrees four-year Heineken deal

MANCHESTER City Football Club has renewed its long-standing partnership with Heineken UK.

The Dutch group will continue to serve as City’s “official UK beer partner” on match days and during summer concerts, until the end of the 2017-18 season.

As part of the four year-deal which is exclusive to the UK and the Etihad Stadium, the club will serve a range of Heineken brands including Foster’s, Heineken, Strongbow, Bulmers, Amstel and John Smith’s.

The new agreement builds on an existing 18-year relationship between the two parties, which began at City’s former home, Maine Road.

Chief commercial officer Tom Glick, said: “Heineken and its stable of brands have been a key part of our fans’ match day experience for more than 18 years. We’re extremely proud of this relationship that has spanned nearly two decades and look forward to working together to continually improve the Etihad Stadium’s beverage offering.”

Heineken UK’s, on-trade managing director, Lawson Mountstevens said: “We are delighted to extend our partnership with one of the most ambitious clubs in world football. Teaming up with Manchester City presents a unique opportunity to showcase our unrivalled portfolio of cider and beer brands to over 47,000 spectators, while trialling and developing new product and dispense innovation throughout the Etihad Stadium’s state-of-the-art bars and hospitality facilities.”
