Do your soccer skills match up with the pros? With SkillCity, you can find out! By taking part in our nine soccer challenges, developed by Manchester City coaches, you can compete against Man City players, other UK football fans and your friends, for a chance to show your skills at a Manchester City matchday, experience a game VIP style and win some merchandise! This competition is open to players aged 8-16 across the UK.

A safe environment – A Note for Parents


Due to its competition component SkillCity has been awarded a 17+ rating, however the app has been carefully designed for kids aged 5-14.



SkillCity offers your child an environment which is 100% safe, with no in-app purchases, chat functions, communication between players or sharing of personal details. The free app also operates on a closed network, so children cannot interact with strangers.


To register for the app, your parental permission is required, and parental gateways form part of the app’s sign-up process.


We believe including a competition will encourage kids across the UK to play more football, which is our end goal. We are sure you will understand this, and hope that you and your children enjoy participating in SkillCity.
