“This is a wonderful partnership and we are so excited to extend it to UEFA Women’s football, and to be working together with UEFA across its competition profile,” says Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot. “Football is the most exciting, most passionate game on the planet and the perfect match for Hublot. Like UEFA, Hublot is obsessive about quality, has ambitious plans for the future and is proud to know a loyal fanbase. It’s a match made in heaven!

“The appeal of women’s football is growing at an impressive rate and we are delighted to have such a prestigious brand as Hublot joining us as a partner, who are committed to promoting the women’s game,” declares Guy-Laurent Epstein, Marketing Director of UEFA Events SA. “Agreeing partnerships with world famous brands like Hublot is exactly the kind of results we envisaged when we unbundled the rights from the men’s game over two years ago and is proof women’s football can be supported on its own merits.”
“This is a fantastic time to be involved in women’s football and it is great to have found a like- minded partner in Hublot who share our goals and ambitions,” adds Nadine Kessler, UEFA’s Head of women’s football. “With Hublot becoming an official partner and supporter of UEFA women’s football across our competitions and campaigns, including Together #WePlayStrong, we hope that this will help us to take our sport to a wider audience as well as strengthening our existing relationships with those who are already committed to playing football. ”
