Revealed: Man City Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak Holds CBE and Freedom of the City of London

Elliot Anderson and others in the Manchester City squad will have questions for Al Mubarak. Al Mubarak, 51, has served as Manchester City 's chairman since Sheikh Mansour's takeover of the club in 2008.

Beyond his role at the Etihad Stadium, he holds the position of chief executive at Mubadala Investment Company, one of Abu Dhabi's principal sovereign wealth vehicles, a role that has shaped his profile in British institutional circles over the course of nearly two decades.

The Abu Dhabi national received a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2013, and in 2021 was awarded the Freedom of the City of London - one of the oldest surviving traditional ceremonies in British civic life, with recipients historically drawn from figures of significant commercial or diplomatic standing.
