The excitement of English football is coming to Hong Kong like never before. OKX, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 technology innovator, has announced a landmark event that brings the glory of Manchester City’s historic treble victory to fans in Asia. For the first time in the city’s history, the Premier League and English Cup trophies will be showcased publicly in Hong Kong during a special exhibition hosted by OKX.
Set to take place on September 3 at THE FOREST in Mong Kok’s iconic Sneaker Street, the event—titled OKX Presents: Premier League and English Cup in Hong Kong—marks a major cultural and sporting moment for football enthusiasts and digital asset communities alike.
A Historic Trophy Exhibition
At the heart of the event is the rare public display of two of English football’s most coveted trophies: the Premier League title and the FA Cup, both won by Manchester City in their unforgettable 2023 treble campaign. These symbols of excellence will be exhibited side-by-side on an outdoor stage at the entrance of THE FOREST, allowing fans to witness the physical embodiment of footballing greatness.

On September 4, the exhibition expands as The Manchester City Treble Trophy Tour: Presented by OKX arrives with all three treble trophies, including the UEFA Champions League trophy, completing the full set. This marks one of the most comprehensive trophy tours ever organized, reaching more global destinations than any previous iteration.
Legendary Player Appearance
Adding a personal touch to the celebration, Manchester City legend Paul Dickov will make a live appearance at the event. With over 200 appearances across two stints at the club (1996–2002 and 2006–2008), Dickov remains a fan favorite and a symbol of loyalty and passion. During the event, he will take the stage to share behind-the-scenes stories, career highlights, and his reflections on the evolution of modern football.
Fans will have the opportunity to hear firsthand accounts from an athlete who helped shape City’s legacy before its recent era of dominance—offering a powerful bridge between past and present.
Interactive Fan Experience Zone
From September 5 to 9, the exhibition space transforms into an immersive football experience zone. Visitors can expect:
- Interactive football challenges powered by digital technology
- A curated display of rare, signed Manchester City jerseys
- Photo opportunities with life-sized player cutouts and trophy replicas
- Web3-enabled fan engagement activities
This extended activation ensures that even those who miss the initial trophy viewing can still enjoy a dynamic, family-friendly experience rooted in sport and innovation.
Why Hong Kong?
Hong Kong has emerged as a pivotal hub in the global digital asset ecosystem. With increasing regulatory clarity and growing institutional adoption, it serves as a strategic gateway between East and West in the world of Web3 and blockchain innovation.
Lennix Lai, Global Chief Commercial Officer at OKX, emphasized this synergy:
“When we became the Official Sleeve Partner of Manchester City earlier this year, we committed to delivering unique experiences for fans worldwide. Manchester City's forward-thinking approach to technology and its massive global following make it an ideal partner for our brand. We’re proud to be the first organization to bring these prestigious trophies to Hong Kong—a city that’s not only passionate about the Premier League but also at the forefront of regulated crypto innovation.”

OKX and Manchester City: A Powerful Partnership
OKX’s collaboration with Manchester City began in March 2022 as the club’s Official Training Kit Partner for the 2022/23 season. The relationship evolved significantly when, on June 30, 2023, OKX was elevated to Official Sleeve Partner for both the men’s and women’s first teams under a multi-year agreement.
Since then, the partnership has leveraged Web3 to deepen fan engagement. Initiatives like the OKX Collective Metaverse have allowed supporters to interact with players in virtual environments, access exclusive digital collectibles, and participate in gamified experiences—all designed to redefine how fans connect with their favorite clubs.
