With less than a week to go to until the Manchester City Abu Dhabi Cup kicks-off, Manchester City FC Academy Director Jason Wilcox is preparing to bring his young team to the UAE capital – where they will go head-to-head with teams from across the globe.
In addition to the Manchester side, Melbourne City FC will also be making their debut at the Manchester City Abu Dhabi Cup, thanks to support from Etihad Airways, and will be joined by teams from Sri Lanka, Kuwait and Oman as well as local sides such as Al Jazira.
Speaking about the tournament, Jason Wilcox said: “It is a priority for players to experience all aspects of the game and that’s why it is great for youth teams to travel and compete in different countries. For me, as the Academy Director, it is also good to witness the standard of football across the world to ensure we as a club are doing everything to ensure our players are learning and developing constantly.
“We can’t wait to arrive and experience Abu Dhabi and the Manchester City Abu Dhabi Cup for the first time.”
