FIFA prolongs association with McDonald’s

This new extended deal between FIFA and McDonald’s will now cover the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup and the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The international football governing body, FIFA has announced a renewed sponsorship collaboration with an American multinational fast food chain, McDonald’s.

This new deal will now cover both the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, which will be played between July 20 – August 20 in Australia and New Zealand, and the FIFA World Cup 2026.

McDonald’s will continue to sponsor FIFA’s flagship tournaments, with the ability to use LED branding and exclusive naming rights to the Fair Play Trophy, which is awarded to the team with the best fair play record during FIFA competitions. The award is a significant acknowledgement of McDonald’s and FIFA’s shared principles, as well as their dedication to fair play and respect both on and off the pitch.

McDonald’s will be prominent at both tournaments as part of this extended agreement, with the brand visible to the billions of fans that tune in to matches. McDonald’s will additionally have access to tickets and hospitality chances, allowing the firm to provide attendees with exceptional experiences.
