Casa Milan Dubai solidifies AC Milan’s commitment to the UAE and the whole Middle Eastern region, setting the stage for a profound connection with key stakeholders, from institutions to existing partners, including Emirates (Principal Partner – and a partner since 2007) and SIRO (Official Hotel Partner).
The new office in Dubai makes the Rossoneri the first Italian football club to open an office in the MENA region and it will also help the club enhance its engagement with the local fanbase.
With a claimed following of more than 35m people in the Middle East and Africa, AC Milan is the most supported Italian football club in the area.
Situated on the 31st floor of the modern ICD Brookfield Place, in the heart of the bustling DIFC, the Dubai International Financial Centre, Casa Milan Dubai is strategically positioned to serve as a central hub for the club’s operations and initiatives in the Middle East.
This strategic location places AC Milan at the centre of Dubai’s vibrant community, encompassing corporate offices, arts, fine dining, retail, and wellness.
By extending its reach into the Middle East, AC Milan aims to tap into the region’s rapidly growing popularity for football and create a lasting impact on the sport’s development in the area.
As a testament to that, AC Milan aims to keep investing on the next generation of football fans and players in the Middle East with plans to expand its Academy program in the region.
Giorgio Furlani, CEO of AC Milan, said: “Casa Milan Dubai represents our commitment to global growth and our strong belief in the potential of the Middle Eastern market.
“This new office is not merely a physical space, but a testament to AC Milan’s ambition to foster a stronger, more global football community, connecting hearts and minds worldwide.
“At the same time, Casa Milan Dubai will serve as our home away from home, a place where our values and passion for football will continue to thrive.
“With our new office in Dubai, we are proud to further our presence in a key region for the club and to continue to build upon our relationship with our partners, including Emirates, which has been at our side for 15 years, making our partnership one of the most recognisable, respected and longest-running in global football.”
