Liverpool have signed a multi-year deal with Japan Airlines to become the club’s official airline partner.
The partnership, which extends to both the men’s and women’s teams, will see them collaborate with the LFC Foundation on key community initiatives across the world.
Liverpool’s chief commercial officer Ben Latty said: “We are delighted to welcome Japan Airlines onboard. LFC and JAL are two premium market leaders, recognised for their winning mentality and shared commitment to connecting with either fans or flyers and communities worldwide.
“This partnership aligns our global ambitions, combining the passion and heritage of one of the world’s most storied football clubs, with the exceptional service and reach of Japan’s premier airline. The partnership will create opportunities for fans to engage with the club through unique activations and experiences.
