Bayern ends sponsorship of Qatar Airways after five years

O Bayern Munchen terminated its sponsorship with Qatar Airways in a common agreement, which has generated controversy since it was signed, five years ago, due to human rights violations in the Gulf country.

“The contract between Bayern and Qatar Airways ends amicably after five passionate years together,” the parties said on Wednesday in a joint statement posted on the German club’s website.

“Bayern won the Championsand Qatar Airways received the title of ‘Best Airline in the World'”, adds the note.

Oliver Kahn, former general manager of the club who was sacked at the end of May after a season below expectations, had already warned a few months ago about the need to reassess sponsorship with a controversial brand.

Bayern have been criticized since the start of the partnership for human rights violations in Qatar. In 2021, team fans disrupted a club general meeting to demand an end to collaboration with the company.
