Manchester City and Liverpool announced an expansion of their social media presence on Thursday with more local language websites and Twitter accounts to cater for a growing international fan base.
.
Abu Dhabi-owned City launched 10 new Twitter accounts in addition to existing feeds in English and Arabic to engage with supporters in Chinese, French, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Thai.
.
City said the accounts will give fans in more than 160 countries access to Manchester City Twitter content in their own language.
.
"As the Club continues to attract fans from across the world and our global community grows, it's important to find new ways to connect and engage with them in order to build deeper relationships," said Diego Gigliani, the club's director of marketing, media and fan development, in a statement.
.
"Translating our website into 13 languages was one step on this journey - creating another 10 Twitter accounts is another."
They both have a low fan base in Nigeria as compared to Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal so let's hope that will change.
