FIFA joins forces with Coca-Cola for Club World Cup partnership

Both parties look past legal issues

FIFA have teamed up once again with soft drinks giants Coca-Cola, to join as an Official Partner of the Club World Cup. The partnership will see Coca-Cola work on various fan engagement activities across the cities in the United States of America, where the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 tournament will take place and other places around the world. 

Coca-Cola has been a partner of FIFA since the FIFA World Cup 1978 and the latest partnership expansion further strengthens their partnership with recent legal troubles amongst Coca-Cola, adidas and FIFA with regards to the Club World Cup sponsorship.

The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 will be held in the USA between June 14, 2025 and July 13, 2025 with 32 teams set to battle it out to be crowned as the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup champions.

Romy Gai, Chief Business Officer, FIFA, commented,

“The Coca-Cola Company has been involved in stadium advertising at every FIFA World Cup since 1950 and has provided many memorable experiences in global football over the decades. We are delighted to have such an important and a long-standing partner on board as we usher in a new era in global club football with the FIFA Club World Cup. This will be an exciting, inclusive and a truly global tournament that will ultimately further the development of the club game while delivering value to our partners.”

Brad Ross, Vice President of Global Sports and Entertainment Marketing and Partnerships at The Coca-Cola Company, said,

“Sports partnerships like the one we have with FIFA are an important growth driver for our company, brands and global system, and the FIFA Club World Cup will be a significant moment to bring the world together through the power of sport. Football fans are among the most passionate in the world, and we’re honoured to be part of these moments by refreshing fans and athletes with our portfolio of beverages and providing them with innovative experiences.”
