Defeating the Nerazzurri won’t be as simple as many bettors are claiming, but Erling Haaland and Ilkay Gundogan’s recent goal scoring success will undoubtedly aid the Manchester team. The SportsGrail analyses Man City’s nickname, the ‘Cityzens’, below.
Why is Manchester City known as the Citizens?
Man City’s two monikers for the team are the Sky Blues and the Citizens. The latter, along with the abbreviation “City,” is more frequently used when referring to the club.
To give its supporters a name, Manchester City has been altered to become Citizens. The phrase is frequently said and it has a deeper significance as a light jab at Manchester United supporters. It contrasts the frequently asserted national following of Red Devil supporters with the local support of Man City supporters. Even though Citizens is a common moniker for both the team and its supporters, it does not have official status.
What distinguishes Citizens from the city ‘Cityzens’?
Although ‘Citizens’ and ‘Cityzens’ have different spellings, neither name’s connotation is significantly different. The club uses the spelling “Cityzens” to refer to its members.
City’s free fan membership programme, Cityzens, enables supporters access to tickets for home games and offers exclusive deals to new members. The club began ‘Cityzens at home’ during the COVID-19 lockout. It featured cooking competitions, teaching DVDs for football, and more.
