Emirates and AC Milan Extend Iconic Partnership, Strengthening Global Football Reach

Emirates and AC Milan have proudly announced the renewal of their iconic partnership, reaffirming one of football’s longest and most successful collaborations. Emirates will continue as the Principal Partner, Official Airline Partner, and Official Men’s Jersey Partner of the legendary Italian club. The famous ‘Fly Better’ logo will remain on AC Milan’s Men’s First Team shirts across all major competitions including Serie A, Coppa Italia, UEFA, FIFA tournaments, and international friendlies.

The renewed deal also extends to AC Milan Academy youth players, reflecting a shared commitment to nurturing tomorrow’s football stars. Emirates gains extensive brand exposure through LED displays at stadiums and training centres during home matches, alongside exclusive digital content, fan experiences, and premium hospitality for guests.

Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline, expressed pride in continuing the partnership, highlighting the deep-rooted relationship with Italy and the opportunity to connect Milan and other Italian cities to the world through Dubai, while bringing AC Milan’s global fanbase closer to their favourite club and players.

Maikel Oettle, Chief Commercial Officer of AC Milan, emphasized the partnership’s historic and admired nature, which continues to strengthen the club’s foundations and connect new generations of fans worldwide through unique, beyond-pitch experiences.

Since beginning in 2007, this collaboration has evolved into a symbol of sporting excellence and global connectivity. In 2024, Emirates celebrated AC Milan’s 125th anniversary with a bespoke A380 livery featuring the club emblem, further cementing the enduring bond.

This renewal also confirms Emirates’ leadership in global sports sponsorship and AC Milan’s status as the Italian club with the largest worldwide fanbase, setting the stage for continued shared growth and fan engagement.
