Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Manchester City have become the first Women’s Super League (WSL) team to secure a stadium naming rights deal after announcing a contract with baby gear brand Joie, the club said on Thursday.
The 7,000-seat Academy Stadium is the only purpose-built venue in the WSL. No financial details were released.
“Not only is this a huge moment for Manchester City women but also for the wider club as the stadium changes name for the first time since its opening in 2014,” Gavin Makel, Managing Director of Manchester City Women, said in a statement.
City agreed a multi-year partnership with Joie in March, aiming to improve family friendly services at the stadium.
“It is a further reflection of the importance, growth and commercial appeal of Manchester City Women and the wider women’s game and we are excited to work together with Joie to maximise opportunities for families at our matches,” Makel said.
Baby gear company Joie started in the UK and now has distribution in over 85 countries.
