OKX and Manchester City Celebrate Sleeve Partnership with AI-Generated ‘Year 3000’ Murals in Manchester Ahead of 2023-24 Home Opener
DUBAI, UAE, Aug. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — OKX, a leading Web3 technology company and Manchester City’s official sleeve partner, is proud to announce that it has transformed the passion of Manchester City fans into futuristic AI-generated murals that will adorn the streets of Manchester to celebrate the first home game of the season on August 19, 2023.
OKX invited Manchester City fans from across the globe to envision what football will look like in the year 3000. Their answers were then plugged into an AI image generator to transform their visions into reality.
The result is two mural designs, one for the men’s and one for the women’s team, that capture the essence of Manchester City’s rich history while projecting the club into a futuristic realm.
Haider Rafique, CMO at OKX, said: “This is the first time we’ve used a combination of community voting and AI-generated images to create something special with Manchester City fans. We can’t wait to see how Cityzens react when they see the art around the city celebrating their favourite team and athletes. From the beginning of our partnership we’ve always said that we’re here to supercharge the fan experience. I hope that, with these new installations, Manchester City fans see that we have delivered on our promise.”
As the Manchester City team prepares to hit the pitch for the first home match of the season, they will wear the new 23/24 match shirt, featuring the OKX sleeve branding. This marks the convergence of sports, technology, and fan engagement, symbolising the connection between the club and its supporters.
OKX was announced as Manchester City’s Official Sleeve Partner for the men’s and women’s first teams in a new multi-year agreement on June 30, 2023. As part of the expanded deal, the OKX brand will feature on the left sleeve of both the men’s and women’s first team match kits while retaining its position on the left sleeve of the first team training kits.
OKX’s partnership with Manchester City began in March 2022, first expanding in July 2022 when OKX became the Club’s Official Training Kit Partner for the 2022/23 season. To date, the partnership has helped introduce the brand to millions of football fans around the world through innovative Web3 experiences like the OKX Collective, through which fans can get up-close-and-personal with their favourite Manchester City players.
The murals will be viewable for four weeks until September 14, 2023.

NPCI International to Develop UPI-like Real-Time Payments Platform in Trinidad and Tobago
- Agreement signed with the Ministry of Digital Transformation, Trinidad and Tobago
- Marks an important step in expanding India’s digital public goods initiative globally
MUMBAI, India, Sept. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — NPCI International Payments Limited (NIPL) has entered into a strategic partnership with the Ministry of Digital Transformation (MDT) of Trinidad and Tobago, to develop a real-time payments platform similar to India’s ‘Unified Payments Interface‘ (UPI). This collaboration marks a significant milestone, making Trinidad and Tobago the first Caribbean nation to adopt the globally renowned UPI. This builds on the strong, longstanding bilateral ties between the two countries.
This strategic partnership aims to empower Trinidad and Tobago to establish a reliable and efficient real-time payments platform for both person-to-person (P2P) and person-to-merchant (P2M) transactions, expanding digital payments in the country and fostering financial inclusion. By leveraging technology and experiences from India’s UPI, the partnership seeks to assist Trinidad and Tobago in modernising its financial ecosystem. This involves enhancing accessibility, affordability, connectivity with domestic and international payment networks in the times to come and ensuring interoperability.
UPI has emerged as a transformative force in India’s financial landscape, registering nearly 15 billion transactions in August 2024, with an estimated value of USD 245 billion. Through strategic collaborations with foreign central banks and governments, NIPL is committed to advancing India’s digital public goods across the globe.
Speaking on the development, Mr. Ritesh Shukla, CEO, NPCI International, said, “Trinidad and Tobago is taking significant steps towards advancing its financial infrastructure, and we are proud to support them in building a secure, sovereign, and scalable payments platform. Our experience with UPI in India has demonstrated how real-time payments can transform economies, by improving access to essential financial services and reducing reliance on cash. We look forward to working closely with the Ministry of Digital Transformation and the Central Bank in Trinidad and Tobago.”
Spokesperson of Ministry of Digital Transformation, Trinidad and Tobago, said, “It is with great anticipation that the Ministry of Digital Transformation and the Ministry of Finance embark on this significant engagement with NIPL to implement a digital payment system for Trinidad and Tobago. Fashioned on India’s UPI, the digital payment platform will facilitate innovation in the Fintech sector, enhance the technical resiliency of the current payment infrastructure by providing a complementary, non-competing digital payments platform with increased security through the reduced use of cash. Moreover, successful implementation will contribute to the financial inclusion of our unbanked citizens. We extend sincere thanks to the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago, which continues to be a strategic partner and stakeholder in this important initiative. We look forward to the partnership with NPCI International, as we actively seek to transform the existing payments landscape and establish a modern digital payments ecosystem.”
