Manchester City Women are travelling to Abu Dhabi for a warm weather training camp during the Barclays Women’s Super League winter break.

But now the Blues will have an opportunity to rest and recover heading into 2025, when our League Cup and FA Cup campaigns get under way.

As well as getting back to full fitness following that well-earned Christmas break, the squad will also have opportunities to sample some of Abu Dhabi’s cultural offerings and activities.

The best bits from the trip, both on and off the pitch, can be enjoyed on our social channels as part of a short daily diary, which will also be available on mancity.com and the official Man City app.
