Man City's trophy tour visits Isle of Wight
- Published
Manchester City fans on the Isle of Wight have had a rare chance to see the five trophies won by the team in 2023.
The club is currently touring the Champions League and Premier League trophies, along with the FA Cup, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup, around the world.
The island's Manchester City Supporters Club played host them at an event at Ryde Town Club.
The supporters' club said it was a "great coup" for the island.
In June, Manchester City claimed a first continental Treble when they beat Inter Milan in the Champions League final.
Pep Guardiola's side became the eighth European side to do so and only the second from England after neighbours Manchester United in 1998-99.
They also won the Premier League, along with lifting the FA Cup after beating Manchester United at Wembley.
They beat Sevilla on penalties in August to claim the UEFA Super Cup.
The FIFA Club World Cup competed the quintuple of trophies following a win over Fluminense in Saudi Arabia, in December.
The trophies are currently on a world tour of supporters' associations, most recently visiting Brazil before coming to the Isle of Wight.
The island's official supporters' club - Wight Blues - successfully applied to be a stop on the tour in July. It is thought to be the only UK destination south of London.
Club member branches from Hampshire, Dorset and Jersey have travelled to the island to see the trophies at a special event also attended by former City captain Andy Morrison.
