Abu Dhabi Airports Company has become the latest global brand to partner with the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) after agreeing a new deal to support the AFC’s national teams and club competitions.
As per an agreement formally signed on Monday by Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa, the AFC President, and Abu Dhabi Airports Company Chairman, Ali Majed Al Mansouri, at an official ceremony at Al Bateen Executive Airport in Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi Airports Company will be the official sponsor of the official sponsor of the final round of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Asian qualifiers.
