Manchester City fans visiting Istanbul for tomorrow's Champions League final have been urged to 'be a good guest' in the Turkish city. Greater Manchester Police will have a presence in Ataturk Olympic Stadium and surrounding fan zones when the Blues take on Inter Milan tomorrow (June 10).
Officers are there to support the 20,000 Man City fans expected to travel to the city, alongside staff and stewards from the club. GMP Superintendent Graeme Openshaw, the force's Head of Delegation for the fixture, said: “GMP is supporting Man City fans in Istanbul as they celebrate what has been a fantastic season for the club.
"Officers in Istanbul have been specially selected based on their vast experience in policing football fixtures and large crowd events. The task force comprises a range of ranks and specialisms; officers on the ground engaging with fans are bolstered by the preliminary effort of liaising with UEFA, Turkish police, and local authorities.”
