The General Manager of Manchester City China, Tang Xigang, says that the Chinese market is very important to Manchester City, but many fans can not go to England because of the distance. They hope to provide more benefits for their Chinese fans through Tencent Sports and to allow more engagement between the club and their Chinese fans on and off the field.
It has also been reported that Tencent Sports has also launched a similar joint membership with Arsenal FC.
