Chelsea have a long and proud history of successful trips to Europe.
From their very first match against Copenhagen in the 1950s, via glory in Munich, to this season’s Champions League final in Porto, the Blues and their fans just love a continental away day.
Fans of the west London club have long followed their team far and wide. Now, after over a year of empty stadiums and social distancing, it’s time to travel to watch Thomas Tuchel’s men again.
Which is why it makes perfect sense that the Stamford Bridge side would enter into a partnership with trivago, one of the world’s leading global travel platforms.
“We are all looking forward to that moment when we can travel freely again, whether that is to watch Chelsea or to have a long-awaited holiday away from home, so I’m really delighted to be welcoming trivago into the Chelsea family,” said Guy Lawrence, Chelsea CEO.
“With a global platform that is truly best-in-class, we will be proud to wear the trivago name on our Men’s, Women’s and Academy training wear.”
But that’s not all, as from July fans all over the world can win monthly once-in-a-lifetime experiences on a monthly base.
Whether it’s meeting players, taking part in training sessions, or getting access to the exclusive trivago suite at Stamford Bridge, trivago and Chelsea want to offer their fans something truly unique and memorable.
“When the opportunity to partner with Chelsea came up, we jumped at the idea,” said trivago CEO Alex Hefer. “We at trivago are very passionate about football. For us, it is not just entertainment, it is part of our culture and daily life. Being with people who matter to us, experiencing exciting and unique moments together, exploring new destinations on away matches or huge victories in national and international competitions – football is bringing joy into our daily lives in a similar way travel does.”
“We are excited to bring this to life with a smile-raising, heart thumping trivago twist in a uniquely Chelsea way – Let’s go!”
