Man City will team up with Google to host its second hackathon at the Etihad Stadium in February. After a successful debut in July, #HackManCity returns and this time fans will be at the focus of the three-day event, which will ask participants to uncover innovative ways in which the club can foster a sense of community among Man City’s global fan base. Supported once again by local digital agency Play, the club is looking for programmers, designers, researchers, strategists, marketers, social media specialists, students and innovators to help ensure supporters across the world have access to the most advanced digital technology in order to connect with other fans and their team. Taking place from Feb. 10-12, the second installment is open to anyone over the age of 18 who can demonstrate their curiosity, technical skills and passion for football, marketing and digital. New for '17, successful applicants will now have the opportunity to take one of two routes. The Cityzen Hack is designed for more experienced individuals, while the Academy will cater for those new to hack days and offer them a chance to hone their skills. More than 60 innovators took part in the club’s inaugural hackathon (
