UEFA and Fanatics, a leading provider of licensed sports merchandise and global digital sports platform, today announced a long-term e-commerce, event retail and licensing deal, in one of the most comprehensive sports merchandising partnerships in European football.

The new partnership will see Fanatics continue to operate event retail at UEFAs major international events, including Euro 2024, Womens Euro 2025 and Euro 2028.
