The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) have announced a renewal of their partnership with American multinational financial services corporation, Mastercard. Mastercard will remain a sponsor of the UEFA Champions League for the 2024-37 commercial cycle. 

The long-standing partnership which entered its 30th year, will also see Mastercard hold sponsorship rights for the UEFA Super Cup in 2024, 2025 and 2026.
