We're very proud of the Man City Military Vets, who started off as a Moving Forces activity and are still going from strength to strength. #WeWillRememberThem
💙| We will remember them! Thank you to our Military Veterans for bringing this 'Lest we forget' flag to a session in honour of Remembrance Day. #RemembranceDay2021

Another great occasion as part of the North West Military Vets football league. A hard fought win for @AFCFylde who trailed 3-2 at half time against the current league champions, Man City. Good luck to both teams in the remaining fixtures!
🪖| Another 7-a-side encounter for our Military Veterans team. Well done to all those involved!👏

Extremely proud that the Man City Military Vets were part of City in the Community's 35th birthday event The City vets were one of the first Moving Forces sessions and it's incredibly heart-warming to know that this team will continue to support veterans for years to come #CITC35
🎥| @ManCity's Zinchenko made a surprise visit to our #CITC35 birthday showcase last week! Guests were invited to explore ten different programme stations, to find out more from staff and meet participants. Here's how they got on. 👇 🔷MORE | bit.ly/3C6yWG9

3 years ago Moving Forces and City in the Community launched the Man City Military Vets football team. This week, 24 players were at training, a new record! 70 veterans have now attended in the last 3 years. Excited to see what the next 3 years bring! #CITC35 #GMMovingInAction
