Emirates Airline has entered into a partnership with Al Ain Football Club, which will see the airline become the Official Airline Partner for the club during the 2025/26 season. The collaboration comes as Al Ain FC prepares to compete in the FIFA Club World Cup, set to begin on June 14 in the United States.
The agreement highlights Emirates' commitment to enhancing the UAE's reputation as a leading sports destination and fostering elite athletic competitions. As part of this partnership, Emirates' logo will be featured on Al Ain FC's training jerseys during both home and international matches starting next season. The airline will also gain brand visibility at home matches held at Hazza bin Zayed Stadium in Al Ain, along with promotional rights and advertising opportunities across the club’s media platforms.
His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration: “We’re pleased to partner with Al Ain FC at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup and for the Club’s next season. This new association will allow us to play an even bigger role in local UAE football and to support the sport’s development, in addition to nurturing homegrown talent and propelling the sport to thrive on the international stage."
