July 7 – AC Milan has expanded its partnership with Italian HVAC specialist Clivet, which will now serve as the club’s Official Climate Partner and take on naming rights for its training ground.
As part of the renewed agreement, Milanello — the club’s historic training facility — will be renamed Centro Sportivo Milanello powered by Clivet, starting from the first day of training for the 2025/26 season. It marks the first time AC Milan has granted naming rights for the site, which has been in use since 1963.
The deal underlines the club’s strategy to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact at its facilities, with Clivet’s technology aimed at enhancing indoor air quality and overall performance conditions for athletes. Specific financial terms were not disclosed.
In addition to the naming rights, Clivet will also become the sleeve sponsor of AC Milan’s training kits across the Men’s and Women’s First Teams, as well as Milan Futuro and the Primavera youth squad.
Maikel Oettle, Chief Commercial Officer of AC Milan, commented: “We are very proud to continue our journey with Clivet – a partnership that redefines how we approach our infrastructure, transforming it into an environment where performance and sustainability thrive together.
“Milanello is our temple of performance, and well-being is a key pillar of that. By placing Clivet at its heart, we are not only enhancing the quality of our spaces today, but also shaping the future of training, development, and climate-conscious excellence in football.”
Massimiliano Venturi, Director of the Italy Business Unit at Clivet, added: “We believe that natural comfort is a key factor in sport as well: providing athletes with the right temperature and optimal air quality means putting them in the ideal conditions to express their full potential. This new chapter in our collaboration confirms our desire to actively contribute to the Club’s success.”
