Ipswich Town vs Manchester City History

These clubs were established in the same period with Ipswich Town formed in 1878, two years prior to the founding of Manchester City – originally called St. Mark's (West Gorton).

Neither of these teams were overly successful throughout the first half of the 20th century, though Manchester City undoubtedly enjoyed more trophy celebrations during this time. MCFC won the FA Cup for a second time in 1934 – three decades after the club’s maiden success, and clinched the First Division title in 1937.

Man City struggled to resurge following World War II, though Ipswich Town would later emerge as a new contender in English football. ITFC earned promotion to the First Division in 1961, gaining top-flight status for the very first time, and Alf Ramsey’s side remarkably went on to win the First Division title at the first time of asking.

When Ipswich Town captured FA Cup glory in 1978, Man City were already four-time winners of this famous competition. Ipswich got the better of Arsenal, 1-0, in front of 100,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium. Three years later the Suffolk-based outfit emerged victorious in the final of the UEFA Cup (precursor to the Europa League). Ipswich defeated Dutch club AZ Alkmaar, 5-4 on aggregate, to claim a first major title in Europe.

In more modern times, Manchester City have of course been the most dominant team in English football. The club was purchased by the Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008, with Pep Guardiola appointed manager of the men’s senior team eight years later. Under the tutelage of the Spanish tactician, the Citizens celebrated Premier League honours six times in seven years from 2017-2024. MCFC would also ascend to the throne of European football, winning the UEFA Champions League in 2022/23.
