Qatar Airways Scores a Historic Sponsorship Treble at UEFA Champions League Final

Qatar Airways is creating history at the UEFA Champions League final on 31 May in Munich by officially sponsoring both finalists, Paris Saint-Germain and FC Internazionale Milano, along with the tournament itself – an impressive feat. This unprecedented “sponsorship treble” reinforces the airline’s position at the center of the world’s premier club football stage, showcasing its global aspirations, dedication to excellence, and profound passion for the sport.

This year’s final at Munich’s famous Allianz Arena guarantees a clash between two of Europe’s most renowned clubs. Both teams feature passionate international supporters and showcase top-tier talent, making the match a thrilling event for a global audience of billions. Qatar Airways will play a pivotal role in this event, serving not only as a sponsor but also as a facilitator of fan experiences that extend beyond the 90 minutes of play.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, said: “Our triple partnership with UEFA, PSG, and Inter is a landmark moment for Qatar Airways. This final unites our values of ambition, precision, and global connectivity, with football as the unifying force. We are proud to deliver memorable journeys for fans while celebrating the spirit of the beautiful game.

Qatar Airways plays a significant role beyond branding. Its exclusive travel packages for the UEFA Champions League, which included flights, hotel accommodations, and match tickets, have entirely sold out, highlighting the strong demand from fans around the globe. As the sole airline providing these seamless packages directly, Qatar Airways reinforces its status as a premier travel partner for football enthusiasts worldwide.

International fans traveling to the final with Qatar Airways will enjoy the airline’s extensive European network, featuring up to 28 weekly flights to Paris, 21 weekly flights to Milan, and 14 weekly flights to host city Munich during the peak summer season. This offers flexible, world-class connections to the big game.

Before the final, Qatar Airways will host “Rio Meets Powered by Qatar Airways,” a special live podcast featuring Rio Ferdinand at the UEFA Champions Festival on 29 May at Olympiapark. He will be accompanied by PSG legend Claude Makélélé and Inter icon Julio Cesar for an open discussion about their Champions League victories and the legacies of both clubs.

Qatar Airways will enhance the final with a special CSR initiative alongside PSG and Inter. Two children—one from PSG Communities and the other from Inter Campus—will have the chance to experience a “Dream Night.” They will watch the pre-match warm-up from the sidelines and cheer for their team from the stands. This initiative features a child with autism and another recovering from leukemia, highlighting the airline’s dedication to inclusion and social impact through sports.

During the match, Qatar Airways will enhance the fan experience through a special halftime event, featuring Brazilian legend and Global Ambassador Kaká, who will present two fortunate fans with complimentary Business Class tickets to any Qatar Airways destination—creating a memorable experience that intertwines the excitement of football with the pleasure of travel.

Guests of Qatar Airways will have the opportunity to enjoy an unforgettable evening with club legends, allowing fans to connect more closely with the icons who have influenced the modern game. For loyal members, the Privilege Club Collection provides an enhanced matchday experience, including a limited selection of Category 1 tickets and VIP access to a pre-match warm-up viewing. To heighten the occasion, Qatar Airways Cabin Crew will position themselves along the players’ tunnel during the walkout, visible to millions watching worldwide.
