The English football club, Manchester City, have confirmed Destination Sport Group as their latest official local partner, strengthening ties with one of Manchester’s foremost international sports travel companies.
The partnership builds on a long-standing relationship between the two organisations. Destination Sport Group has supported the club for several years by managing team travel logistics, delivering youth development tours, and curating fan experiences through its specialist brands, Destination Sport Travel, Inspiresport, Sportsbreaks.com, and Sportsworld.
As part of the new agreement, the sports travel company will continue to oversee City’s team travel requirements while also expanding its services to fans, schools, youth clubs, and corporate groups. Inspiresport will arrange trips that give young players the chance to train with world-class coaches at the City Football Academy. Sportsbreaks.com will offer ticket and hotel packages for all men’s home fixtures at the Etihad Stadium, ensuring supporters can enjoy a complete matchday experience. Meanwhile, Sportsworld will design tailored travel and hospitality programmes for business clients and partners, adding a premium dimension to the collaboration.
Commenting on the partnership, Jonathan Lingham, Director of Commercial and Fan Support, Manchester City, said, “We’re delighted to build on and further cement our current relationship with Destination Sport Group – a leading sports organisation who provide a valuable service to the club across multiple touchpoints.”
Paul Hemingway, Destination Sport Group Chief Executive Officer, added, “We’re delighted to continue our strong relationship with Manchester City with this official local partnership. This is a truly comprehensive travel partnership with touchpoints across team travel, youth development tours, fan travel, and VIP experiences, demonstrating the unique ability of Destination Sport Group to ensure an integrated, complementary travel provision.
“We look forward to working closely and collaboratively with Manchester City to provide a best-in-class service for the club’s travel requirements, whilst creating memorable opportunities for supporters, youth teams and corporate clients alike.”
The deal highlights City’s ongoing commitment to working with locally based organisations that combine strong community identity with international reach. For Destination Sport Group, it represents an opportunity to align even more closely with a globally recognised club while reinforcing its reputation as a leader in sports travel and experiences.
