A post shared on Facebook by Precious Kargbo Sports Journalist<\/a>, states that Manchester City has opened job opportunities for homeless people to clean the club\u2019s stadium after weekend matches. The post praises the club for what it describes as a classy and compassionate initiative, suggesting that the decision was officially announced by the club and was also posted here<\/a> and here.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The post was accompanied by images of people cleaning a football stadium and another featuring a Manchester City official, giving the impression that the initiative had been formally launched by the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the potential misinformation of the claim, DUBAWA decided to verify it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verification<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DUBAWA began verification by closely examining the claim and the language used. The post clearly presents the information as a confirmed announcement from Manchester City, which could easily lead readers to believe the club has officially released it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To verify this, DUBAWA first contacted the claimant directly and requested evidence supporting the claim, including a link or reference to an official announcement on Manchester City\u2019s website or on verified social media platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, the claimant admitted that there is no official confirmation from Manchester City Football Club. The claimant clearly stated that the notice did not come from the club\u2019s official website or communication channels. Instead, the claimant explained that similar programs have existed in the past, both at Manchester City and other football clubs, and that the post was based on those general initiatives rather than a new or specific announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Following this admission, DUBAWA independently checked Manchester City’s<\/a> official website and verified social media<\/a> accounts. The fact-checker found no announcement, job advertisement, or statement confirming that the club has opened job opportunities specifically for homeless people to clean the stadium after matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The claim that Manchester City announced job openings for homeless people to clean the stadium after weekend matches is misleading. DUBAWA\u2019s findings show that there is no official announcement from the club.
