MÜNCHEN, Germany – Qatar Airways was proud to share in the celebrations as Official Matchday Presenter (MDP) during FC Bayern München’s exciting 1-0 victory over Bundesliga rivals, RB Liepzig, at the Allianz Arena, Munich, on Wednesday 19 December 2018.
As part of its role as MDP and Official Airline Partner to the German Bundesliga Champions, the award-winning airline ran a ‘Dribble like a Pro’ Instagram competition where users could sketch the dribble path of a football to score a goal. The winner, from Germany, was invited to watch the match at the Allianz Arena from the Qatar Airways lounge and was given the opportunity to test their dribbling skills at half-time alongside FC Bayern legend, Ivica Olić. The winner also won a pair of return travel tickets from our German gateway cities to any Qatar Airways destination worldwide.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said: “As Official Airline Partner to Bundesliga champions FC Bayern München, we are delighted have had the opportunity to act as Matchday Presenter during the match in Munich.
