Emirates and AC Milan Extend Partnership
Emirates and AC Milan have announced the extension of their partnership. Under the renewed agreement, Emirates will continue as Principal Partner, Official Airline Partner, and Official Men’s Jersey Partner of the Italian club.
The Emirates ‘fly better’ logo will remain on the front of AC Milan’s Men’s First Team shirts across Serie A, Coppa Italia, UEFA, FIFA, and international friendlies. The logo will also appear on AC Milan Academy youth player jerseys, supporting the development of football talent from grassroots to professional levels.
The partnership includes brand activations, such as LED displays at stadiums and training centres, exclusive digital content, fan engagement experiences, premium hospitality, and global watch parties for fans.
Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline, said: “We are pleased to extend our partnership with AC Milan. This collaboration continues to connect Milan and other Italian cities to the world through Dubai while engaging fans globally.”
Maikel Oettle, Chief Commercial Officer of AC Milan, added: “The renewal reflects our ongoing collaboration with Emirates, helping us connect new generations of fans and create meaningful experiences both on and off the pitch.”
Emirates first sponsored AC Milan in 2007, became the official jersey sponsor in the 2010/2011 season, and unveiled a bespoke A380 livery in celebration of AC Milan’s 125th anniversary. The club also opened a new office in Dubai to expand commercial and communication activities in the region.
The partnership aligns with Emirates’ broader football strategy, which includes partnerships with Real Madrid, Arsenal FC, Benfica SL, Olympique Lyonnais, and FC Bayern Munich, as well as sponsorship of The Emirates FA Cup and support for the UAE Pro League.
