Manchester City is delighted to report that Nissan has today become the Club’s Official Automotive Sponsor in a major new deal.

The partnership will see the Japanese automotive giant enjoy a strong brand presence at the Etihad Stadium and on digital platforms, together with the launch of a number of fan engagement opportunities targeting City supporters in Manchester and around the world. The deal will see Nissan electric vehicles being used in and around the City Football Academy which is due to be opened later this year.

Furthermore, the Nissan logo will feature on the back of the Manchester City Women’s shirt as they become Official Lead Partner of the Women’s team.

The five year deal, which is the most significant of its type in the Premier League, was announced today at Nissan’s global headquarters in Yokohama, Japan.
The event, which was attended by the Chief Executive Officers of both organisations - Ferran Soriano and Carlos Ghosn - included news of a ground-breaking wider global partnership with City Football Group, whose clubs also include Manchester City Women, New York City Football Club and Melbourne City.

This unique partnership follows the agreement with Nissan announced in May this year, which saw City Football Group assume a minority stake in the Nissan-owned Yokohama F• Marinos who play in Japan’s J-League.

Speaking of the deal, Chairman Khaldoon al Mubarak, said:

“We are delighted to be working with Nissan as CFG’s first group-wide global partner. Nissan is a leader in innovation and sustainability; values which are also at the heart of our own organisation.

“Through our investment in, and support of, the Yokohama F• Marinos it has become very clear that Nissan and CFG also share a common passion and ambition for further growth and development. As a result, this new partnership presents us both with incredibly exciting opportunities to collaborate through football both in Japan and across the world.”
 
Re: Nissan?

Very interested in this deal, it was only three days ago that I raised the question as to whether it'll be possible to market the CFG as a package to attract extremely lucrative deals. I presume this will be the first of many.

NISSAN AND CITY FOOTBALL GROUP ESTABLISH GLOBAL FOOTBALL PARTNERSHIP
FIRST COLLABORATION ACROSS GLOBAL FOOTBALL NETWORK
(Yokohama, Japan 17th July 2014) – Nissan Motor Co. and City Football Group (CFG) today unveiled a global partnership which will see the Japanese car manufacturer become the Official Automotive Partner of City Football Group.
The 5 year deal represents a first for CFG, with Nissan becoming the first global partner of the football network, an organisation including Nissan majority owned Yokohama F·Marinos alongside Barclays Premier League Champions, Manchester City FC, Manchester City Women’s FC, New York City FC, and Melbourne City FC. City Football Group also owns Football and Marketing Companies operating from a number of offices around the world.
The Nissan CFG partnership will see Nissan become the Official Automotive Sponsor of Manchester City Football Club and enjoy a strong brand presence at the Club’s famous Etihad Stadium, complemented by fan engagement opportunities targeting City supporters all over the world. This will sit alongside unique rights packages in the territories of each of CFG’s network of football clubs.
The collaboration follows the previous agreement between the two organisations, announced in May of this year, which saw CFG assume a minority stake in the Nissan owned Yokohama F·Marinos and commit to provide its knowledge, expertise and services to the J-League club through the City Football Services and City Football Marketing companies.
“Nissan has always been immensely proud of its place in Yokohama F·Marinos history and is now privileged to be part of the story of CFG and their network of fantastic global football teams,” said Carlos Ghosn, Nissan President and CEO. “This innovative partnership enhances Nissan’s investment in the game of soccer which is a key platform to further strengthen our brand globally. Additionally, the value in kind deal will see Nissan introduce the world’s best-selling electric vehicle to the world’s fastest growing football team, an example of how the collaboration will pair innovation with innovation to bring the excitement of Nissan and soccer to customers around the world.”
Khaldoon al Mubarak, Chairman of City Football Group, commented, “We are delighted to be working with Nissan as CFG’s first group-wide global partner. Nissan is a leader in innovation and sustainability; values which are also at the heart of our own organisation. Through our investment in, and support of, the Yokohama F·Marinos it has become very clear that Nissan and CFG also share a common passion and ambition for further growth and development. As a result, this new partnership presents us both with incredibly exciting opportunities to collaborate through football both in Japan and across the world.”
Including one of the world’s fastest growing football clubs in Manchester City FC, the CFG network of football clubs represents an excellent business platform for Nissan as it continues to expand its association with football worldwide. The recent signing of global football star, David Villa, will see the Spanish international play for New York City FC and in Melbourne as a guest player, reflecting the potential of the network’s unique business model and driving huge excitement around the new season for both clubs.
 
yeah whatever !! said:
I wonder if Nissan sell more cars here than Chevrolet. ;)


Probably.

Here in the state, General Motors, who owns Chevrolet, a significant amount of their cars are being recalled due to a defect.
