(PRESS RELEASE) DOHA, Qatar, 2025-May-29 — /Travel PR News/ — Qatar Airways is proud to mark a historic milestone in its long-standing commitment to global sports sponsorship by becoming the official sponsor of both finalists, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and FC Internazionale Milano, as well as the UEFA Champions League competition itself. This unprecedented “sponsorship treble” is a rare achievement, cementing Qatar Airways’ pivotal role in the world’s most prestigious club football event.
The 2025 UEFA Champions League final, set to take place on 31 May at Munich’s iconic Allianz Arena, promises to deliver an exhilarating clash between two of Europe’s most successful football clubs. With star players and passionate international fanbases, the match is expected to captivate a global audience of billions. Qatar Airways will not only be visible as a sponsor but will also provide fans with unforgettable experiences that go beyond the 90 minutes of football on the pitch.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, shared his excitement, saying: “Our triple partnership with UEFA, PSG, and Inter is a landmark achievement for Qatar Airways. It embodies our values of ambition, precision, and global connectivity, with football serving as the unifying force. We’re proud to offer fans a truly memorable journey, while celebrating the passion of the beautiful game.”
Qatar Airways’ involvement extends well beyond branding. The airline’s exclusive UEFA Champions League travel packages, which included flights, hotel stays, and match tickets, have completely sold out, reflecting the strong demand from global football fans. As the sole airline offering these seamless packages, Qatar Airways has reinforced its position as the preferred premium travel partner for football enthusiasts worldwide.
Fans traveling with Qatar Airways to the final will benefit from the airline’s extensive European network, which includes up to 28 weekly flights to Paris, 21 weekly flights to Milan, and 14 weekly flights to Munich during the peak summer season, ensuring flexible and world-class connections to the big game.
In the lead-up to the final, Qatar Airways will present “Rio Meets Powered by Qatar Airways”, a special live podcast hosted by football legend Rio Ferdinand at the UEFA Champions Festival on 29 May at Olympiapark. Rio will be joined by PSG legend Claude Makélélé and Inter icon Julio Cesar for a candid conversation about their Champions League triumphs and their clubs’ legacy in European football.
Qatar Airways will also engage in a special CSR initiative with PSG and Inter. The initiative will grant two children—a child supported by PSG Communities and another from Inter Campus—a “Dream Night” experience. These children, one living with autism and the other recovering from leukemia, will enjoy watching the pre-match warm-up from the pitch side and cheering on their teams from the stands, highlighting Qatar Airways’ commitment to inclusion and social impact through sport.
At the match itself, Qatar Airways will elevate the fan experience with a unique halftime activation. Brazil football legend and Qatar Airways Global Ambassador, Kaká, will surprise two lucky fans with complimentary Business Class tickets to any Qatar Airways destination, providing an unforgettable connection between the excitement of football and the joy of travel.
Additionally, Qatar Airways hospitality guests will enjoy a VIP experience alongside football legends from both PSG and Inter, getting closer than ever to the icons who have defined modern football. Privilege Club members will also enjoy an exclusive matchday experience, with a limited number of Category 1 tickets and VIP access to a pre-match warm-up viewing. During the players’ tunnel walkout, Qatar Airways’ Cabin Crew will line the tunnel, providing a remarkable moment visible to millions of fans watching globally.
This collaboration with the UEFA Champions League is part of Qatar Airways’ broader portfolio of prestigious global sports partnerships, which includes collaborations with FIFA, AFC, PSG, FC Internazionale Milano, Novak Djokovic, Formula 1®, MotoGP, the IRONMAN Triathlon Series, the United Rugby Championship (URC), European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR), the French Rugby Team, The British and Irish Lions Tour of Australia 2025, The Brooklyn Nets NBA Team, and other leading sports across football, tennis, motorsport, and more.
