OPENING 2014
City Football Academy Manchester, UK
Manchester City Football Club (MCFC) has unveiled details of its plans to develop a new £100m (122.7m, US$160.3m) train- ing and education complex for up to 400 young players next to its Etihad Stadium in Manchester, UK.
BAM Construction, part of the Royal BAM
Group, has been selected to build the 80 acre (77.5 hectare) City Football Academy, which will include a 7,000-capacity stadium, 17 full-size football pitches (12 of which will be dedicated to players aged 8-21 years), an academy building with classrooms for 200 people, a sports science centre and a dedi- cated media centre. The site is currently being prepared for building work to start and the complex is expected to be completed in time for the 2014-15 Premier League season.
www.sportsmanagementhandbook.com MCFC has also donated 5.5 acres (2.2
hectares) of remediated land on the site for community use, and is also supporting the creation of education and leisure facilities for local residents.
The site will be linked to the Etihad Stadium – MCFC’s current home – by a footbridge and will enable players, staff and offi cials to be housed on the same complex. The project has the full support of Man- chester City Council (MCC) as a major part of the development is boosting local busi- ness in the east of the city.
In addition, the Beswick Community Hub Masterplan has set out a blueprint for a further three key sports initiatives: a new leisure centre with a swimming pool; the Manchester Institute of Sports Science and Sport Medicine (a research and diagnostic facility); and the Manchester House of Sport (a proposed home for national and inter- national sports bodies). The development is being led by the council.
