Manchester City Babies FC is a juvenile club formed in October 2007 by the Manchester City Centenary Association(CSA),Ghana Branch.The club consists of under 8,under 12,under 14 teams and will soon add an under 17 team. The team is based in Tamale, the northern regional capital of Ghana. Our immediate plan is to enter the club into the northern regional national colts league. It is also our hope to play in Ghana's premier division in future. We currently use a school field for training and playing our matches.

The aim of the team is to make Manchester City popular in Ghana and also to nurture hidden talents of children in our community. In Ghana, we have observed that a lot of EPL soccer loving fans support clubs like Manchester United,Arsenal,Liverpool and Chelsea just because such teams are familiar with their lips. So in order to make MCFC popular to Ghanaians as well, the CSA,Ghana branch set up the MCFC babies team. So, if the team starts playing in the colts league and if possible the national premier division,the name Manchester City FC would be familiar with every Ghanaian soccer-loving fan.

Although we have not yet entered into a league, we have played a number of trial matches and I might say the boys are really talented and I would not be suprised to see some of them playing in MCFC colours in the near future.

Having beating Kanvilli FC 4-2 at home last week,the baby blues of Ghana(Under 12s of Manchester City babies), were hoping to make it a double against the Kanvilli lads but it did not materialize for the baby blues because the Kanvilli lads held them to 2-2 draw at their park.It was a hard fought draw for the baby blues as they have to come from two goals down to draw two all with their opponents.The Kanvilli boys started strongly and scored two goals in the first period through Abdul Gaani and Micheal Awuni in the 10th and 28th minute respectively,they held on to this goals till the end of the first period.The baby blues then came back strongly in the second period and got some two quick goals in the 48th and 55th minute through fast improving midfielder Kwabena Aboagye.After that both sides struggled to get the match winner but due to the brilliance shown by the defensive set up of both sides prevented another goal in the game.It was no surprise when the referee blew his whistle for the end of the game.

The team is currently preparing hard for the assessment exercise we will go through this september before being admitted into the northern regional colts league.We hope we will meet all their requirements.Some of their requiments include,readiness of us in terms of entery and affiliation fees,equipments of the team etc.But we will soon get some kits from Alex Channon,the chair of the CSA who launch an appeal for funds recently to buy football equipments for us.
