fire engulfed a merchandise stand outside Etihad Stadium as fans gathered two hours before Manchester City’s Champions League home game against Club Brugge on Wednesday.

The fire started in the kiosk near the stadium’s main entrance just before 18:00 GMT as fans gathered for a presentation of the club’s January signings on a stage.

The event was halted and the area evacuated by stewards and security staff before the fire service arrived and quickly extinguished the blaze near the entrance to the Colin Bell West Stand.

City posted on X at 7.11pm that the match would kick-off at 8pm as originally scheduled, all entrances to the stadium were open and fans could move around as usual.
