The new partnership will also provide AC Milan with access to BMW's technology and innovative mobility solutions, which will also be made available to players and staff of the Men's First Team.
AC Milan President Paolo Scaroni said: "Welcoming an internationally recognised brand and excellence in the automotive industry such as BMW to our family of Premium Partners gives us great pride. BMW, much like AC Milan, is a synonym for excellence, style and innovation, so we are truly delighted to embark on this journey and head toward a progressive and sustainable future together, for the benefit of all."
Massimiliano Di Silvestre, President and CEO of BMW Italia S.p.A commented: "As part of our partnership, we are not just limiting ourselves to comms and visibility collaborations, social media interactions, or physical and digital events. Our ambition is to go beyond the technical aspects of a traditional partnership, by pooling some aspirational values of our brands, in order to be more authentic. These shared elements have naturally emerged during our preparatory meetings. The keywords will be culture, style and burst of innovation, but also corporate social responsibility and sustainability."
Casper Stylsvig, Chief Revenue Officer of AC Milan added: "AC Milan and BMW are two global icons with a legendary heritage, a shared vision and a future to design together. Strategically, this partnership represents a very important moment in the Club's growth path that will allow to engage and excite millions of sports fans all over the world by leveraging on the strength of the two brands."
