EA Sports FC, Manchester City and PUMA have come together to release a new kit and lifestyle collection that blends innovation with fan connection.
Available today, the special-edition Manchester City fourth kit, features an NFC chip built right into the club’s crest, turning the shirt into an interactive experience for supporters.
By tapping a smartphone to the crest, fans can unlock digital content, in-game rewards for EA Sports FC 26 and surprises from both City and PUMA. The design takes inspiration from the EA Sports FC identity, with a striking triangle pattern that nods to the tactical shapes seen in football. Set on a dark forest green base with turquoise and metallic accents, the kit is finished with a light green crew-neck collar, a metallic PUMA cat and the embedded NFC crest front and center.
Game. Ready.

The collaboration aims to bring the digital and physical worlds of football closer together, offering supporters new ways to connect with the club. The kit will debut on October 21 when Manchester City face Villarreal in the UEFA Champions League with both the men’s and women’s teams wearing it in select matches throughout the season.
Throughout the campaign, the NFC crest will continue to unlock exclusive content, competitions and prizes, creating an experience that goes beyond the pitch.
