New York City Football Club (NYCFC) and Etihad Airways have joined forces to develop youth leaders around the world who are tackling social issues in their local communities by delivering youth-led soccer projects.
Returning for its third year, the Cityzens Giving Young Leaders Summit welcomed more than 50 young leaders from City Football Group’s global network of community projects to state-of-the-art training facility, City Football Academy, which is home of NYCFC sister Club, Manchester City FC. The week-long program saw leaders from 12 global cities take part in a variety of on and off-the-pitch workshops to develop and enhance their community soccer leadership and coaching skills.
