Lidl and UEFA Launch Unique Strategic Partnership

Lidl and UEFA have announced a long-term strategic partnership, the first of its kind in UEFA's history. This collaboration goes beyond traditional sponsorship, focusing on promoting conscious nutrition and an active lifestyle in both professional and grassroots football. Emphasis is placed on supporting amateur football through educational programs, such as 'UEFA Football in Schools,' and developing a pan-European digital platform to provide high-quality football education. Lidl will also be UEFA's official nutrition partner and will support the UEFA Grassroots Awards and the UEFA Grassroots Week. The goal of the partnership is to create sustainable added value for society and support young talents in football. Lidl has been a partner of UEFA since 2024, supporting both women's and men's national football.
