The reach of Manchester City's community work extends as far as Melbourne, thanks to the Cityzens Giving programme. 

Run in partnership with Melbourne City FC and now in its third year, I Speak Football celebrates the diversity of the Australian city and has helped hundreds of young people from different backgrounds connect.

Fans of Man City have been able to help fund I Speak Football as one of six projects across the world that form this year's Cityzens Giving initiative, by voting where the money from the City Football Group is allocated.

"Making friends was sometimes very difficult for me, because I have a different culture and language, but football is a global language that everyone can speak," programme participant Ling Hlori said.
