By GlobalDataUefa has already initiated two major sponsorship tender processes in the last week, one covering cryptocurrency rights across the next three years of its prestigious men’s Champions League club competition and the other covering rights in a range of sectors – including automotive, travel, logistics and food delivery – for its men’s national team competitions up until 2028.
The crypto and NFT tender, which Uefa is working on with its club competitions' commercial agency Team Marketing, invites bids from companies interested in securing licensing rights in the cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens (NFT) space, for the prestigious Uefa Champions League, the body's flagship competition.
Meanwhile, the national team’s sponsorship packages, which Uefa has launched alongside CAA Eleven, cover a range of sectors, including “auto, mobility, travel, logistics, food delivery, grocery/supermarket, beer and non-alcoholic drinks”, and cover all major Uefa national team competitions between 2022 and 2028.
The governing body has been active in terms of its tenders recently, having also sent out a request for proposals (RFP) last week to companies interested in selling commercial rights to its club competitions from 2024-25 onwards – a position currently occupied by Team Marketing.
It has been reported that this latter set of rights could extend for six seasons from that point if the right partner is found.
The tender, which interested parties can request details on by contacting uccrfpbids@uefa.ch, has been issued despite Team having held this collection of rights since the Champions League was launched in the 1992-93 season and, therefore, signals a significant threat to that agency’s flagship property.
