Official: Milan confirm €100m front-of-shirt sponsorship agreement

Milan have officially announced that they have extended their partnership with long-standing front-of-shirt sponsors Emirates, who will continue as the club’s airline and principle partner for the next five years. 

Milan have announced that they have extended their sponsorship agreement with the airline Emirates. Reports in Italy suggest that this new extension will be worth around €100m to Milan over a five-year period, or in other words, €20m per season. 

Emirates began their partnership with Milan in 2007, and became the club’s front-of-shirt sponsor at the beginning of the 2010-11 season. This new agreement will see the partnership celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2027. 

“The renewal of our partnership with Emirates stands as testimony to one of the most historic and admired collaborations in football, a shared journey that looks to the future with ambition and vision,” Maikel Oettle, Milan’s chief commercial officer said. 

“Emirates will continue to stand by our side, helping us strengthen the Club’s solid foundations and, together, connect new generations of fans around the world while creating unique experiences that go far beyond the pitch,” he continued. 

Sir Tim Clarke, President of Emirates airline added: “We are thrilled to extend our partnership with AC Milan. This collaboration, built on shared values and a mutual commitment to excellence, has created unforgettable experiences for millions of fans worldwide. 

“Our deep-rooted relationship with Italy makes this extension a natural next step, as we continue to connect Milan and other Italian cities to the world through Dubai, while bringing Rossoneri fans across our global network closer to their favourite club and players.”
