Roma have confirmed Qatar Airways as the club’s shirt sponsor for the next three years.
Roma’s official website described the deal as ‘one of the biggest-ever’ by an Italian club, in what marks a return to top-level football for the airline after it lost its sponsorship with Barcelona last year.
“We are delighted to announce this historic partnership between AS Roma and Qatar Airways, two great brands with global ambitions,” commented Giallorossi President James Pallotta.

“We are delighted to announce this historic partnership between AS Roma and Qatar Airways, two great brands with global ambitions,” commented Giallorossi President James Pallotta.
“Today’s announcement is the result of discussions behind the scenes for over eight months with Qatar Airways, led by our commercial team in London with much assistance from the entire Roma team, and comes at a significant time in the club’s history, on and off the pitch.
“With a new stadium due to begin construction late this year and the team in the Champions League semi-final for the first time for 34 years, it’s an exciting time to be a Roma fan.
“We shall be proud to wear the Qatar Airways name on our shirts and we look forward to working together to achieve sporting and commercial success for many years to come.”
Qatar Airways already flies twice a day to Rome and Milan, as well as daily to Venice and Pisa, while it recently bought 49 percent of AQA Holding, the new parent company of Air Italy.
The five-time Airline of the Year also becomes only the Lupi’s seventh sponsor in their 90-year history and their first since 2012.
