Alex Greenwood
In collaboration with Manchester City
World Exclusive
When Alex Greenwood steps onto the pitch, it’s not just her talent that commands attention—
it’s the presence that comes with every stride.
The newly appointed captain of Manchester City, Alex embodies a rare blend of grace and strength, qualities that have defined her footballing career and cemented her role as a footballing icon.
This winter, Alex takes centre stage in a collaboration that effortlessly merges the world’s elite, spanning sports, fashion and luxury. In collaboration with Manchester City, 886 by The Royal Mint, and Harvey Nichols, Alex celebrates her rise to captaincy in a campaign that highlights her influence on and off the pitch.
It’s a partnership as meaningful as it is stylish. Sports World—the leader in sports lifestyle storytelling—joined forces with City, one of the world’s foremost football clubs, alongside 886 by The Royal Mint, renowned for creating modern heirlooms, and Harvey Nichols, a name synonymous with modern-day luxury.
But at the heart of this collaboration? Alex herself—a footballer whose career is a testament to resilience, ambition, and above all, authenticity.
Alex’s appointment as Manchester City captain is the culmination of over a decade of grit and determination. From her days at Everton to pivotal stints with Liverpool, Manchester United, Lyon, and now City, Alex has earned her place as one of the game’s most respected figures.
Along the way, she’s racked up monumental achievements—a UEFA Champions League title and playing a key role in England’s iconic EURO 2022 victory, to name a few. But the road has not been without its challenges. Success, after all, doesn’t come without its fair share of scrutiny.
Now, as City’s captain, her role goes far beyond leadership on the pitch. Leading a club of City’s calibre demands the ability to inspire and influence those around you, using more than just your skills as a player.
Central to this collaboration is a curated selection of jewellery from 886 by The Royal Mint, purveyors of wearable and generational assets inspired by The Royal Mint’s heritage as a trusted store of wealth. Worn by the likes of Stella McCartney and Cillian Murphy, each piece showcases the brand’s expert craftsmanship, merging contemporary design with timeless appeal—much like Alex herself.
Alex’s journey has always been about more than performing on the pitch—it’s a tale of breaking boundaries and continually challenging the status quo. As a leading light in women’s football, she uses her platform to push for equality and greater representation within the sport and beyond.
Manchester City’s involvement in this campaign is a further showcase of the club’s commitment to progress and innovation. By elevating Alex’s captaincy, the club is not just highlighting her individual achievements, but the evolving culture of women’s football itself.
For Alex, this moment is less a final destination and more a milestone in an ongoing journey. Leadership, to her, is about building a legacy—one that inspires the next generation of young footballers.
Whether she’s commanding City’s defence or reshaping the narrative around women’s football, Alex Greenwood is a symbol of quiet confidence, unshakable presence, and grace—a leader who continues to inspire.
