Manchester City Football Club plays at the City of Manchester Stadium (near 48,000 capacity). Founded in 1880 as St. Mark's (West Gorton), they became Ardwick Association Football Club in 1887 and then Manchester City in 1894.

The club's most successful period was in the late 1960s and early 1970s when they won the League Championship, the FA Cup, the League Cup and European Cup Winners' Cup under the management team of Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison and with players including Colin Bell, Mike Summerbee and Francis Lee.

After winning the League Cup in 1976, the club went through a period of decline culminating in relegation to the third tier of English football in 1997–98. Since, the club has regained an excellent status and in May 2011, the club qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the first time and won the FA Cup, their first major trophy for 35 years.
