Qatar Airways has proudly concluded a landmark moment in football and aviation history, having played a central role in the 2025 UEFA Champions League Final in Munich with the airline in a first-of-its-kind, serving as an official sponsor of both finalists – Paris Saint-Germain and FC Internazionale Milano, as well as the UEFA Champions League itself, completing an extraordinary “sponsorship treble” never before accomplished in the tournament’s storied history.
The final, held at the iconic Allianz Arena on May 31, captivated a global audience and was further elevated by Qatar Airways’ presence both on and off the pitch. This historic alignment of sport and travel highlighted the airline’s global vision, premium offering, and enduring commitment to connecting people through the power of sport.
Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, Group Chief Executive Officer of Qatar Airways, reflected:
“The UEFA Champions League Final was more than just a match. It was a celebration of excellence, ambition, and unity. Our partnership with UEFA, PSG, and Inter reflects these values and reinforces our position as the airline of choice for global sports fans. We are proud to have created unforgettable memories for travellers and supporters from around the world.”
Ahead of the final, Qatar Airways’ exclusive Champions League travel packages, combining flights, accommodations, and match tickets were met with overwhelming demand and sold out well in advance. As the only airline to offer such comprehensive access, Qatar Airways reaffirmed its role as a premium travel partner for football fans seeking a seamless, high-quality journey to the heart of the action.
With an extensive European network, the airline facilitated smooth and flexible travel for fans, offering up to 28 weekly flights to Paris, 21 to Milan, and 14 to Munich at peak summer.
As part of the UEFA Champions Festival, Qatar Airways presented the live podcast “Rio Meets Powered by Qatar Airways,” hosted by football icon Rio Ferdinand. He was joined by club legends Claude Makélélé and Julio Cesar for a compelling conversation that reflected the history and legacy of the final’s contenders.
The airline also shone a light on inclusion and impact with a heartfelt CSR initiative, welcoming two children, one supported by PSG Communities and one from Inter Campus to a once-in-a-lifetime “Dream Night” experience. The young fans, representing communities affected by autism and illness, enjoyed pitchside access and front-row seats, embodying Qatar Airways’ mission to bring people together through sport.
During halftime, Brazilian legend and Qatar Airways Global Ambassador Kaká surprised two lucky fans with complimentary Business Class tickets to any destination in the airline’s network a moment of joy broadcast around the world and symbolizing the connection between sport and travel.
Qatar Airways’ presence was felt throughout the evening, from the players’ tunnel, where its iconic cabin crew welcomed both teams, to its VIP hospitality lounges where distinguished guests and club legends mingled. For Privilege Club members, the evening included access to premium matchday experiences and unforgettable behind-the-scenes moments.
The UEFA Champions League Final sponsorship is the latest jewel in Qatar Airways’ expanding portfolio of global sports partnerships, which includes FIFA, Formula 1®, MotoGP, Novak Djokovic, The Brooklyn Nets, and more across football, rugby, cricket, tennis, equestrian, and motorsports.
As Qatar Airways celebrates this historic moment, it looks ahead with continued passion and purpose, connecting fans to the sports they love and making every journey as memorable as the destination.
