TEAM's bid in the UEFA club competitions tender process for the 2027 - 2033 seasons remains unconsidered

UC3, the joint venture company between UEFA and the European Club Association (ECA), has informed TEAM Marketing AG ("TEAM"), a subsidiary of Highlight Communications AG, that it will enter exclusive negotiations with a competitor of TEAM in the ongoing tender process for the UEFA Club Competitions, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League for the seasons 2027 to 2033.

The decision follows an open tender process launched last summer in which several global and regional agencies, including TEAM, submitted bids.

TEAM has been UEFA's marketing partner for more than 35 years. The current agency agreement with UEFA covers the UEFA club competitions for the seasons up to 2026/2027, until then TEAM will continue to fulfil the current agency agreement and plan the realignment from 2027 onwards.
