AC Milan and the Dubai-based carrier announced the extension of their long-standing partnership today at Emirates HQ.
Emirates first signed a sponsorship agreement with AC Milan in September 2007.
To mark the renewal of the partnership, AC Milan paid a visit to Emirates Group Headquarters in Dubai, where the team are currently holding a warm-weather training camp and also competing in the Dubai Super Cup.
As part of the visit, coach Stefano Pioli, members of the men’s first team, AC Milan’s senior management team and representatives of the ownership group met with His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline & Group in a special moment that officially kicked off renewed collaboration, and marked a shared vision for more great moments ahead.
AC Milan’s partnership with Emirates underlines the club’s commitment to strengthening its physical presence in the Middle East.
The region is a strategic focus area for the group where football remains the most popular and played sport and the club has the support of over 2.5 million passionate fans.
As a testament to the commitment of the Club to the region, AC Milan has plans to open a new office in Dubai, which will serve as a base for the club to further develop its regional strategy in the Middle East. More details of the new office will be shared in due course.
