Manchester City fans can score an exclusive souvenir ahead of Sunday's Manchester derby.
Supporters who visit the Cityzens' Arms will be able to obtain one of two scarves commemorating two iconic victories against their great rivals.
Joleon Lescott and Steph Houghton have teamed up with Asahi to give Blues fans two options.
The first is a nod to the 6-1 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford in October 2011, where goals from Sergio Agüero, David Silva and doubles from Mario Balotelli and Edin Dzeko secured victory.
A second scarf is available to commemorate City Women's 3-0 triumph over United in February 2021.
Fans can scan a QR code on the scarves to access in-depth analysis of Opta derby fixtures and refresh their Manchester City trivia, reliving some of the most legendary moments in the history of this illustrious rivalry.
Asahi takes over The Waldorf on Gore Street, renaming it The Cityzens' Arms for the occasion.
“Playing in the Manchester derby was one of the greatest honors of my career, and it goes without saying that the 6-1 victory at Old Trafford was truly unforgettable,” Lescott said.

“Asahi Super Dry has done an incredible job capturing this day with the new Super Scarves – I think fans will love them.”
Steph Houghton, former Manchester City Women captain, said: “Some of my favorite football memories have come from the Derby, and it's great to see Asahi Super Dry bring them to life and recognize that famous victory we had against United in 2021. I hope for a similar result in the next one!
Robert Hobart, marketing director of Asahi UK, said: “Football fans around the world know that Derby Days is different in Manchester and it's an event that has brought us so many iconic moments, so we wanted to create something special for the fans. We think the Derby Day scarves do a fantastic job of paying homage to some of the biggest matches of recent years and tapping into a piece of kit that every fan and player can wear with pride.
