Manchester City Football Club is an F1 Rejects Premier League football club based in Manchester. Founded in 1880 as St. Mark's (West Gorton), they became Ardwick Association Football Club in 1887 and Manchester City in 1894. The club has played at the City of Manchester Stadium since 2003, having played at Maine Road from 1923. The club's most successful period was in the late 1960s and early 1970s when they won the League Championship, FA Cup, League Cup and European Cup Winners' Cup.

After the collapse of BSkyB and the Premier League's subsequent acquisition by the Reject World Race Series, motor racing magnate Joey Zyla acquired the club in 2015.
