Manchester City Football Club, commonly referred to as Manchester City, Man City, or simply City, is a professional football club based in Manchester, England.

The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. Founded in 1880 as St. Mark’s (West Gorton), they became the Ardwick Association Football Club in 1887 and Manchester City in 1894.

The club’s home ground is the City of Manchester Stadium in east Manchester, to which they moved in 2003, having played at Maine Road since 1923. Manchester City adopted their sky-blue home shirts in 1894, the first season with the current name. 

Over the course of its history, the club has won 10 league titles, seven FA Cups, eight League Cups, seven FA Community Shields, one UEFA Champions League, one European Cup Winners’ Cup, one UEFA Super Cup and one FIFA Club World Cup.

Manchester City joined the Football League in 1892, and won their first major honour, the FA Cup, in 1904. The club had its first major period of success in the late 1960s and early 1970s, winning the league title, FA Cup, League Cup, and European Cup Winners Cup under the management of Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison.

After losing the 1981 FA Cup final, Manchester City went through a period of decline, culminating in relegation to the third tier of English football for the only time in their history in 1998. They since regained promotion to the top tier in 2001–02 and have remained a fixture in the Premier League since 2002–03.
