The stops, in order
- Old TraffordWelcome to Old Trafford, affectionately known as the 'Theatre of Dreams'—a name coined by the legendary Sir Bobby Charlton. This world-renowned stadium, with a capacity of over 74,000, has been home to Manchester United Football Club since 1910. As you gaze at its towering stands, imagine the echoes of the 'Busby Babes,' George Best, and the dominance of the Alex Ferguson era.
- Etihad StadiumThis is the Etihad Stadium, the modern home of Manchester City Football Club. Originally built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games, it became the centerpiece of an ultra-modern sports complex in East Manchester in 2003. Under the guidance of Pep Guardiola, this stadium has become synonymous with spectacular football and unprecedented Premier League dominance.
- National Football MuseumWelcome to the National Football Museum, the world's largest and most significant museum dedicated to the beautiful game. Located in the striking Urbis building in the city center, it traces the history of the national sport from its medieval origins to today's global fervor. You can marvel at legendary trophies, such as the 1966 World Cup, along with an unforgettable collection of jerseys worn by history's greatest players.
