DOHA, Qatar, 2018-Jul-23 — /Travel PR News/ — Qatar Airways and Boca Juniors are pleased to reveal the top Argentinian football club’s new jersey, featuring the airline’s logo. The award-winning airline signed an agreement in May to become the official Jersey Sponsor of Boca Juniors through the 2021/22 season.

The Boca Juniors jersey proudly features Qatar Airways’ logo prominently on the front, enabling it to be seen by millions of the team’s fans around the world. This sponsorship agreement also strengthens the airline’s extensive global sporting partnership portfolio.

As an airline, we are proud to celebrate our strong ties with South America, and our partnership with Boca Juniors further cements our commitment to the continent. Boca Juniors is one of South America’s top football teams, and we are tremendously excited to watch Boca Juniors compete, with our brand represented on the team jersey.”
