A new partnership between Expo 2020 Dubai and AC Milan has been announced, with the Italian football giants working to help deliver Expo’s aims to inspire positive change, including one of its key initiatives – the Programme for People and Planet.
The partnership will use the appeal and popularity of AC Milan – nicknamed the Rossoneri after their iconic red-and-black shirts – with a fanbase of more than 500 million fans internationally.
As well as being physically present at the event, Rossoneri players and ambassadors will produce unique content promoting the fundamental values of sport and inspire positive change through football.
