About this collection
Power of Women and Man City’s ‘Same City, Same Passion’ collaboration celebrates the start of the Women’s Super League Season 2023-24 and draws inspiration from Manchester City’s Same City, Same Passion campaign, which focuses on promoting women's football by demonstrating that the same skills, same excitement, and same passion exist wherever a ball is kicked.
‘Same City, Same Passion’ is the Club’s first dynamic digital artwork, with Power of Women’s strikingly bold art switching between two iconic designs – ‘Same City’ during the week and ‘Same Passion’ on WSL game weekends for the duration of the 2023-24 season.
This digital art drop follows on from Power of Women x Man City’s ‘I am EMPOWERED’ collection, which launched on International Women’s Day in March 2023, and celebrates the passion and diversity of women in football today, to inspire, and empower future generations.
‘Same City, Same Passion’ will be released as a time-limited open edition, with the proceeds being split equally between Power of Women and Manchester City’s official charity, City in the Community.
Collectors who hold all 5 digital artworks from Power of Women x Man City’s ‘I am EMPOWERED’ collection will be airdropped ‘Same City, Same Passion’ for free.

In 2018, Manchester City launched the Same City, Same Passion campaign, which focuses on promoting women’s football by demonstrating that the same skills, same excitement and same passion exist wherever a ball is kicked.
This dynamic artwork depicts the strength and resilience of women in football today, drawing inspiration from City’s urban roots, and taking us on a journey to the first game of the 2023-24 Women’s Super League season and beyond:
Born on the streets of Manchester, driven by our city’s grit and unified in our passion for football. The energy in the changing room is electric, the crowd roars, and we stride through the tunnel with pride. The whistle blows. We charge forward. We are City.
Founded in 1988 by City in the Community as Manchester City Ladies, a formal partnership with Manchester City was agreed in August 2012. The team were granted entry to the FA Women’s Super League in 2013 before being relaunched as Manchester City Women the following January, offering full-time professional contracts to players for the first time.
Since that professionalisation, there have been eight trophy successes for City, including four Continental Tyres League Cup trophies (2014, 2016, 2018-19 and 2021-22), three Women’s FA Cup titles (2016-17, 2018-19, 2019-20) and one Barclays Super League title (2016). Also boasting seven successive years of qualification for the UEFA Women’s Champions League between 2015 and 2022, the team plays home games at the 7,000 capacity Joie Stadium.
