ADNOC has confirmed a new multi-year extension of its partnership with the UAE Pro League, ensuring the nation’s top-flight football competition will continue operating under the ADNOC Pro League banner until 2029.
This new agreement reflects the company’s ongoing investment in local sport and its commitment to supporting football development across the UAE as it continues to grow.
The extension was announced during celebrations surrounding Al Ain’s league title triumph at Hazza bin Zayed Stadium, where representatives from both organisations gathered to mark the next chapter of the collaboration.
Since becoming the sponsor in 2021, ADNOC has played a significant role in building the profile of domestic football in the UAE while strengthening connections between clubs, supporters, and communities across the country.
Growth and Community Engagement
The renewed partnership is expected to continue supporting a range of initiatives linked to grassroots football, youth participation, and fan-focused experiences.
Both ADNOC and the UAE Pro League have emphasised the importance of creating more opportunities for emerging Emirati talent while encouraging wider community engagement through football.
Over the past several seasons, the league has experienced growing regional attention, with stronger matchday attendance, increased digital engagement, and continued investment from clubs across the UAE.
This announcement signals confidence in the competition’s long-term development and its ability to further elevate the standard of football in the region, which is a primary goal.
Strengthening UAE Sport
The agreement also aligns with ADNOC’s wider involvement in major sporting events across the country, reinforcing its position as one of the UAE’s leading supporters of sport and entertainment initiatives.
League officials have described the partnership renewal as an important step in maintaining momentum for UAE football while continuing to build a stronger sporting culture for future generations in the region.
