Man City's new T raining Complex

Man City training pitch can change to copy rivals' surface

BEST OF THE BEST? ... Man City's amazing training facilities and their match stadium

PATRICK VIEIRA has hailed Manchester City’s new training HQ as ‘the best in the world’.

Construction of the £100million City Football Academy on waste land next to the Etihad will begin in the next few days.
The Premier League champions, led by boss Roberto Mancini, expect the 80-acre site due to be up and running in two years.
And the no-expense-spared complex will allow ground staff to CHANGE the grass on one of the pitches so it matches the surface City will play their next away game on.
The site is the equivalent to five Etihads and includes:

A 7,000-capacity stadium for youth and reserve games.

16 full-size pitches, including one indoors.

A 400-player Academy with classrooms for 200 pupils.

On-site accommodation for junior and senior players.

A state-of-the-art first-team building complete with injury and rehab centre.

A bridge linking the Etihad to the site.
The project has been four years in the planning and involved extensive research into 30 top sporting complexes around the world.
