UEFA extends partnership with Enterprise Rent-A-Car until 2021
February 26, 2018
UEFA has signed a three-year agreement with Enterprise Rent-A-Car as an official partner of the UEFA Europa League.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car is currently running a competition that will see some lucky football fans travel to a match with either Marcel Desailly, Robert Pirès or Christian Ziege as ‘Backseat Pundits’, offering their insight into the forthcoming matches. In addition, Enterprise Rent-A-Car offer fans of the UEFA Europa League car rental discounts across Europe.
Guy-Laurent Epstein, marketing director of UEFA Events SA, said: “Enterprise Rent-A-Car became one of our partners in 2015 and we are really pleased to continue the relationship for another three years and hopefully beyond. We have been impressed by how quickly they have understood football fans and integrated the sponsorship into their business, which we believe will grow with the strategy they have in place following the renewal.
“We look forward to working together to further build the trusted fan base across Europe and help with their marketing initiatives, such as the ‘Backseat Pundit’, to bring the UEFA Europa League competition to life.”
Jim Stoeppler, vice president of European Brand Marketing at Enterprise Rent-A-Car added:“We are delighted to renew our UEFA Europa League partnership and build on the success of the first three years as we continue to invest and grow in Europe. Sport has played a key role in the growth of Enterprise Rent-A-Car globally, and the UEFA Europa League has enabled us to connect with a large audience of European car rental customers through the world’s number one passion, football.
“We have been able to demonstrate our commitment to delivering excellent customer service by engaging fans and supporting them on their journeys across Europe with special car rental rates. Enterprise Rent-A-Car has also been able to bring the UEFA Europa League closer to many fans by providing access to tickets, VIP match day experiences, trophy days and the chance to meet some of the game’s legends. We look forward to continuing our relationship with UEFA and helping more fans follow their teams across Europe.”
Enterprise Rent-A-Car becomes the third Official Partner of the UEFA Europa League for the 2018-21 commercial cycle, following the renewal of Amstel, and Kia Motors, who have become a new Official Partner to the competition.
