City v United: Things to do at the WSL Etihad derby! | OneFootball

The Barclays Women’s Super League Etihad derby is almost upon us…

City welcome United to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday 11 December, with kick-off scheduled for 12:30 (UK).

It sees two of the league’s most in-form sides lock horns in what could prove a hugely significant encounter in each of our title aspirations.

With over 40,000 tickets already snapped up, it promises to be another historic encounter. Make sure to grab your seat as soon as possible!

But while there’s plenty of excitement expected on the pitch, the same can also be said for the activities happening around the stadium before the action gets under way.

Food and drink will be available to purchase from a number of vendors at City Square from 10:00am, with the official welcome getting under way at 10:30.

Our presenters will guide you through all of the pre-match talking points and will also be joined by City legend Karen Bardsley on stage – who made over a century of appearances for the Club.

City and United boast nine of the victorious England squad from this summer’s European Championship, and supporters can visit the Cityzens hub to have their photo taken with the trophy ahead of kick-off, as well as create their own Dream Team video.

You can also get involved in a number of other activities such as table tennis – and its football equivalent futtoc – while also paying a visit to Santa’s grotto!
