HEINEKEN deepens commitment to women’s football on mission to foster the joy of true togetherness

HEINEKEN has doubled down on its commitment to women’s sport - and its long-term mission to protect and promote the joy of real-world connections - by extending Heineken®’s partnership with the UEFA Women’s Champions League until June 2030.

The extended partnership reflects HEINEKEN’s belief that women’s football’s unique fan culture - where fans come together, mix freely, and enjoy the game in a spirit of joy and connection - is a powerful expression of true togetherness. It’s a celebration of inclusivity, diversity, and shared passion that brings people from around the world closer – on and off the pitch.

“At HEINEKEN we have always been proud to support football and are delighted to extend that commitment today. Women’s football’s unique fan culture - where rival fans can sit alongside each other and connect through shared passion for the game - reflects the sense of true togetherness that drives our own business forward. Just as the games unite people on and off the pitch, we believe in creating connections that last.

Joanna Price, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at HEINEKEN

HEINEKEN has brewed the joy of true togetherness for over 160 years and - as the world’s most international brewer - recognises its role to protect this precious value in a time of growing social fragmentation. 

The brewer is committed to leading from the front, be it through fostering a culture of moderation through leading low-or-no alcohol beverages, running global campaigns that encourage screen-free in-person socialising, or partnering with major events that embody true togetherness - such as the UEFA Women’s Champions League. 

In line with HEINEKEN’s commitment to women’s sport, Heineken® will bring its sponsorship to life through activations that celebrate diversity, unite fans and create meaningful moments of connection around their shared passion for the game.
