Thomas Cook Sport is to become the official supplier of supporter travel for Manchester City Football Club.

The three-year contract will see the sports specialist operator offer official hotel and ticket packages for supporters.

The deal, struck ahead of the 2017/18 Premier League season, comes as the team prepares for another UEFA Champions League campaign.

Thomas Cook Sport will offer travel arrangements to supporters worldwide, including China where fans will have the opportunity to visit the Etihad Stadium through Thomas Cook China.

Supporters can register their interest for official hotel and ticket breaks now ahead of the new football season.

The operator is already official travel partner to Chelsea, Leicester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United.

Head of Thomas Cook Sport, Rob Slawson, said: “It’s fantastic to be on board with Manchester City. They’re a fantastically well-run club with a squad of world class talent.

“We look forward to welcoming supporters from all over the world to the Etihad Stadium from August and taking fans on more European adventures.”

Manchester City operations director, Danny Wilson, said: “We’re delighted to have Thomas Cook Sport as Manchester City’s new travel supplier for our supporters.

“They will provide City fans around the world with great travel options and help bring our fans together both at the Etihad Stadium and on the road.”
