Expo 2020 Dubai will play host to the Premier League and Carabao Cup trophies from October 18 to 19.

This comes as part of its partnership with Manchester City.

The trophies will be on display at the Aussie Park five-a-side pitch at Expo’s Sports, Fitness & Wellbeing Hub, as part of special City Football Schools sessions.

It will be on display from 4:30 pm on October 18 and from 3:30 pm on October 19.

Photo opportunities are available on 18 October after the session.

Following the session on 19 October, the trophies will be transferred to Garden on 1: Sports Lounge for a Manchester City viewing party, with a fan club screening of the men’s team taking on Club Brugge in the UEFA Champion’s League, from 8:45 pm.

Last month, Expo 2020 was unveiled as Manchester City’s new Training Kit Partner for the club’s men’s and women’s teams.

Manchester City is hosting daily football sessions at the Expo site, led by dedicated City coaching staff who apply the same training methodology used by the teams on the training pitches in Manchester.

Representatives from the club and wider City Football Group network will also take part in bespoke Expo events over the coming months.
