City Football Group Limited ‘5’ New Exciting Openings in the Legal Team NQ- 4 PQE

City Football Group Limited (“CFG”) Legal Department is looking for individuals to join their growing legal team and support the CFG group companies and football clubs.

CFG are keen to hear from people from a wide range of backgrounds who bring with them winning mindsets and rich experiences from their lives and careers, which help them to create a great place to work. People who will challenge their thinking, have a will to win and who combine a global approach with an appreciation of the importance of all their local communities.

Football is about more than what happens on the pitch. The off the pitch squad all have important roles to play.

About CFG:

Established in May 2013, CFG is the owner of football-related businesses in major cities around the world, including football clubs, academies, technical support and marketing companies.

The ambition is to increase participation in football on and off the field, to find and develop the best footballing talent, and to deliver an exciting and forward playing game.

By achieving these ambitions – playing attractive football, engaging our community of passionate fans and adopting a uniquely global yet local approach – they are growing a sustainable and socially responsible organisation, consistent with what ‘City’ football has meant to people for over a century.

The CFG has majority owned and operated clubs on three continents – Manchester City FC in the Premier League, New York City Football Club in the MLS and Melbourne City FC of the A-League.

The CFG has investments in the Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan, Montevideo City Torque in Uruguay, Girona in Spain, Sichuan Jiuniu in China, Mumbai City in India, Lommel SK in Belgium and Espérance Sportive Troyes Aube Champagne (ESTAC) in France.

In 2021 Club Bolivar joined the City Football Group family as its first Partner Club.

All of these clubs' men’s, women’s and youth teams train at City Football Academies, each facility designed upon the same principles and philosophy as the Group HQ in Manchester.

Each Club’s vision to use football for social good is delivered in part through City in the Community, Manchester City’s more than 30-year-old charity, which has since been replicated in New York and Melbourne.
