The UAE Pro League and ADNOC have announced the extension of their strategic partnership, ensuring that ADNOC will remain the title sponsor of the ADNOC Pro League for an additional three seasons. The renewed agreement strengthens their joint efforts to support the growth and development of football—one of the UAE’s most popular sports—while deepening the connection between fans, clubs, and communities across the country.
The signing ceremony took place at Hazza bin Zayed Stadium in the presence of H.E. Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and Managing Director and Group CEO of ADNOC, and H.E. Abdullah Nasser Al Jneibi, Chairman of the UAE Pro League and First Vice President of the UAE Football Association. The agreement was signed by Saif Al Falahi, Acting Senior Vice President of Group Human Capital, National Identity, and Corporate Support at ADNOC, and Musab Al Marzooqi, CEO of the UAE Pro League.
The announcement coincided with the crowning of Al Ain Club as champions of the 2025/2026 ADNOC Pro League season.
This extension builds on the sponsorship agreement first established in the 2021/2022 season, which saw the UAE’s professional league officially named the ADNOC Pro League.
Saif Al Falahi stated: “We are pleased to renew our partnership with the UAE Pro League through 2029, continuing our contribution to the nation’s efforts to support young Emirati talent in sports, strengthen community engagement, and reinforce ADNOC’s role as a responsible national company committed to encouraging active, healthy lifestyles.”
Musab Al Marzooqi, CEO of the UAE Pro League, added: “We are proud to extend our partnership with ADNOC, a strategic partner that has played a key role in advancing professional football in the UAE. This renewal reflects our shared ambition to elevate the ADNOC Pro League, enhance the fan experience, and support initiatives that strengthen the bond between clubs and the community.”
In the next phase of the partnership, ADNOC will support initiatives aimed at bringing football closer to communities across the UAE—ranging from youth engagement and grassroots development to enhanced fan experiences and programs promoting sports participation, well‑being, and healthy lifestyles.
The ADNOC Pro League is part of ADNOC’s long-standing commitment to supporting sports in the UAE, which includes major events such as the ADNOC Abu Dhabi Marathon, the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and other prominent sporting activities.
