Emirates Extends Historic AC Milan Partnership Through 2032

Post by : Bandanpreet Kaur

Emirates and AC Milan have officially extended their landmark partnership, reinforcing one of football’s longest and most celebrated collaborations. The airline will remain the Principal Partner, Official Airline Partner, and Official Men’s Jersey Partner of the legendary Italian club.

The deal ensures Emirates’ iconic ‘fly better’ logo continues to feature on AC Milan’s men’s first team shirts across Serie A, Coppa Italia, UEFA competitions, FIFA fixtures, and international friendlies. The partnership now also extends to AC Milan Academy youth teams, highlighting a focus on nurturing young talent from grassroots to professional levels.

Alongside the jersey sponsorship, Emirates will maintain extensive activation rights, including LED branding at stadiums and training facilities, exclusive digital content, fan engagement programs, premium hospitality experiences, and global watch parties hosted in select international locations. This positions both brands to create innovative ways for fans worldwide to connect with the club.

Emirates’ relationship with AC Milan began in 2007 and has evolved over the years, with the airline becoming the official jersey sponsor in the 2010/2011 season. Last year, Emirates celebrated AC Milan’s 125th anniversary with a special A380 livery featuring the club’s colours and crest. AC Milan has also opened a dedicated office in Dubai, aiming to strengthen its commercial and communications footprint across the Middle East.

This renewal underscores Emirates’ continued investment in football globally. Alongside AC Milan, the airline partners with clubs such as Real Madrid, Arsenal, Benfica, Olympique Lyonnais, and now FC Bayern Munich, and has been the title sponsor of The Emirates FA Cup for nearly a decade. In the UAE, Emirates supports the Pro League, with its branding featured on Al Ain FC training jerseys during the 2025/26 season.

The renewed deal highlights a partnership built not only on shared global reach but also on long-term vision, connecting fans, players, and footballing talent around the world while combining sport with world-class aviation experiences.
