Emirates extends AC Milan sponsorship – over €30 million per year

AC Milan and Emirates have renewed their sponsorship agreement worth more than €30 million annually. The new multi-year deal strengthens one of the longest-standing partnerships in European football and secures significant financial backing for the club through the end of the decade.

AC Milan and Emirates have extended their long-term partnership, with the UAE flag carrier remaining the club’s official airline and principal partner. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the renewed deal is valued at more than €30 million per year and is set to run for three to five years, potentially earning the Rossoneri around €150 million by the decade’s end.

The collaboration between the two parties began in 2007, with Emirates featuring on Milan’s shirts since the 2010/11 season. The airline also sponsors Real Madrid, Arsenal, Benfica, and Lyon, further solidifying its footprint in European football.

AC Milan’s Chief Commercial Officer Maikel Oettle described the renewal as a testament to “one of football’s most historic and respected partnerships,” while Emirates President Tim Clark highlighted the shared values and commitment to “connecting Milan to the world through Dubai.”

Looking ahead, AC Milan will face Como in a historic Serie A fixture – the league’s first-ever match held outside Europe, scheduled for February 2026 in Perth, Australia. The club is also advancing plans to build a new stadium on the site of the iconic San Siro.
