Building successful teams and successful partnerships have a lot in common. At Melco, we look for shared ambition and 21st century values. And in Manchester City and Marinos we have found perfect partners, businesses that excel at entertaining whilst putting community first.
Melco's connections to Japan run deep, we have been doing business here for more than twelve years, so being able to support Marinos in their grassroots community programmes is an exciting opportunity for us all

It is a great pleasure to establish a new top-partnership between Melco Resorts & Entertainment Japan, City Football Group, and Yokohama F.Marinos. We appreciate this opportunity from the bottom of our heart.
Melco Resorts & Entertainment provides one of the best leisure and entertainment in the world, and I believe that one of our club philosophies, to create joy and excitement shares the same value with Melco's business.
As partners, we hope to co-create a kind of entertainment which makes all the fan and supporters more exhilarated from this moment and forward.
And it is also a great pleasure for us to be able to get a tremendous support from Melco in our highly recognized grassroots community service activities.

We are delighted to welcome Melco into the City Football Group family. Melco and Manchester City share a common approach to have entertainment at the heart of everything we do, providing great experiences for our fans and visitors. We are also both committed to using football as a force for good and are excited for the launch of Melco's new community football programme in Japan.
