Emirates and Fondazione Milan, in collaboration with Fondazione Veronesi, organized a special experience for eleven children on International Childhood Cancer Day. The children visited San Siro stadium, met the AC Milan First Team players, and received a surprise greeting from Zlatan Ibrahimović.

During the visit, the group took a lap around the pitch during the team’s warm-up and interacted with Milanello, the club mascot, as well as Rossoneri speaker Gegio. After watching the match with their parents, they had another opportunity to meet AC Milan players who signed Emirates-branded merchandise and posed for photos.

This initiative occurred during an Emirates-sponsored match between AC Milan and Inter. It aligns with previous activities by Emirates and AC Milan in past seasons. For example, during the 23-24 season’s match against Salernitana on May 25, 2024, Emirates provided mascot places to ASD Sporting Murialdo to support underprivileged youth. Similarly, during the 24-25 season’s match against Genoa on December 15, 2024, mascot places were given to ASD Fenice to help disadvantaged youth overcome socioeconomic barriers.

These efforts reflect Emirates’ commitment to supporting local communities through its sponsorships. The airline aims to create meaningful connections and inspire positive change worldwide. Together with Fondazione Milan, they are dedicated to making a significant impact in Italy and beyond through shared values.
