City, as Manchester City FC is otherwise nicknamed, is one of the toughest teams in the English Premier League and one that has risen up the ranks rapidly over the years. Formed in 1880, the club is over a century old and plays at the City of Manchester Stadium which has a seating capacity of more than forty seven thousand. These seats are filled with fans who buy Manchester City FC tickets to watch their favorite team in action. The team’s manager today is Manuel Pellegrini who led the team to a very successful 2012 to 2013 season in which it emerged second in the Premier League.

Based in Manchester in the UK, Manchester City FC has risen to the very top of the Premier League after years of hard work and perseverance. The club was formed as St. Mark’s and then renamed Ardwick Association Football Club before being known as Manchester City in 1894. Today, it is one of the foremost clubs in soccer and has League Championship, League Cup, FA Cup and European Winners’ Cup wins to call its own. Many of the club’s wins took place under iconic managers Malcolm Allison and Joe Mercer during the sixties and seventies. In 2012, the club took the spotlight again when it won the Premier League title.

Manchester City FC was among the founding members of the Second Division and emerged as its champions in 1899, after which the team was promoted to the First Division of English soccer. In 1904, it won its first Division title by defeating the Bolton Wanderers at the Crystal Palace and bagged the FA Cup. The club nearly won the League and Cup double but emerged as runners-up and became the first Manchester club to win a major title. During the thirties, the club went on to take part in two successful FA Cup finals, eventually bagging the FA Cup after defeating Portsmouth FC in 1934.

Also in 1934, the club made the record of the Highest Home Attendance in the history of English soccer, at nearly eighty five thousand. This is a record that no other team has broken to date even after eighty years have passed. In 1937, the club won its first Division title and continued the decade by scoring more goals than any of its opponents. During the fifties, the club again came into the spotlight when it reached two FA Cup finals consecutively and won the second FA Cup after defeating Birmingham City. That game is still one of the most famous in the history of soccer, in which the team’s goalkeeper Bert Trautmann continued playing even though he had, unknown to him, broken his neck.

During the late sixties, the team won another League Championship after defeating rivals Manchester United and went on to win the FA Cup and then the European Cup Winners’ Cup. With five FA Cups and three Premier League titles to its name, it is a team to see play live with Manchester City FC tickets in hand.
