Yesterday’s FA Cup Final at Wembley brought together two of the biggest clubs in world football.
Yet one of the most memorable moments of the day came from @officialbantams.
Ahead of the 2026/27 season, Bradford City AFC unveiled its new home shirt, featuring Mbanq as back-of-shirt partner, in front of 90,000 people at the national stadium.
The reveal featured “Bantam of the Opera,” a supporter choir formed during Bradford’s UK City of Culture year, performing alongside the Band of the Household Cavalry before the FA Cup Final.
It was creative, distinctive and completely true to the club.
That is exactly what drew us to Bradford City in the first place.
“There is a real connection between Bradford City and the community around it,” says Vlad Lounegov, CEO of Mbanq. “You can see it in the supporters, in the culture around the club and in the confidence to do things differently. We are proud to see Mbanq on the shirt as part of the club’s next chapter.”
Football clubs matter because communities care about them across generations. Bradford City understands that better than most.
The FA Cup Final belonged to the teams on the pitch.
Bradford City still made part of the day their own.

On this day 41 years ago, 54 Bradford City supporters and two Lincoln City supporters went to a football match and never returned home.
We will never forget those who sadly lost their lives, and as always, our thoughts are with their families and the hundreds still affected by the disaster to this day.
Always in our hearts. 🎗️

We will once again be holding a memorial service at the Bradford City Fire Memorial sculpture in Centenary Square, marking the 41st anniversary of the Valley Parade Fire Disaster. 🎗️
We will always remember. ❤️💛

@officialbantams Home leg:
How many tickets can we buy when on general sale - is there a limit per person?
Also if I’ve bought my season ticket allocation can I buy more when on general sale?

@TerrierNigel You must not have a clue about footballl mate, I watched last 20minutes of that Bradford game and if they don’t get relegated from league one next season I’ll be gob smacked!
Terrible slow route 1 football! Worse than brighouse town.

Exeter boss Matt Taylor on #bcafc: “If there’s ever an example of a successful team in lower-league football, that was Bradford today. No weaknesses just a team of men.”
Apparently this Morecame fan was kicked out of Forest Green’s ground for having a bacon sandwich…🥓❌
