UEFA is proud to announce Heineken has become an official partner of UEFA Women’s Football, starting from the current season and running until 2025.

The four-season partnership includes the UEFA Women’s Champions League, the UEFA Women’s EURO, the UEFA Women’s Under-19 and Under-17 Championships, the UEFA Women’s Futsal EURO, and UEFA’s Together #WePlayStrong initiative, which aims to encourage more girls and women to play football.

Nadine Kessler, Chief of Women’s Football at UEFA, said: “We are delighted to expand our fantastic 25-year relationship with Heineken through to the UEFA Women’s Champions League and UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 and 2025. This expansion demonstrates Heineken’s continued commitment to being an advocate and supporter of the whole of European football, women’s and men’s, and its amazing fans, players and coaches, who make these tournaments so special.”

Bram Westenbrink, Global Head Heineken Brand, said: ““We are committed to delivering great shared moments to consumers all over the world and our sponsorships are exciting platforms to connect with fans through their passions and enhance their experiences. By extending our partnerships in football to include UEFA Women’s Champions League and UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 and 2025, we are enabling more thrilling experiences for all. With this in mind we are proud to announce extensions to our UEFA partnership that dates back over 25 years.”
