What Happened

BYD, a global leader in new energy vehicles, has signed a multi-year agreement to become the Official Automotive Partner of Manchester City Football Club. The 360-degree partnership includes supplying BYD and DENZA vehicles to the club, providing vehicle charging and energy-storage batteries at City Football Academy, and branding on training-kit sleeves for both men's and women's first teams. BYD's logo will also appear on dug-out headrests at Etihad Stadium, and a BYD car will lead the men's team bus into the stadium for home fixtures.

“Manchester City stands for excellence, innovation and the courage to push beyond limits — values that are deeply rooted in BYD’s DNA. This partnership is about more than football or mobility; it is about inspiring people around the world through technology that excites, connects and drives a more sustainable future.”
— Stella Li, BYD Executive Vice President
