AC Milan has strengthened its tie-up up with Clivet which will become the first naming rights partner of the club’s Milanello training ground.
AC Milan said the new agreement marks a significant step in the club’s ongoing efforts to reduce environmental impact and to create high-performance environments through sustainable solutions.
From the first day of training for the new season, the Milanello will officially be known as Centro Sportivo Milanello powered by Clivet.
Milanello Sports Center, commonly referred to as simply Milanello, is the training facility of Italian football club A.C. Milan.
Built in 1963 the centre covers 160,000 square metres. It is located between the towns of Carnago, Cassano Magnago and Cairate, in the province of Varese, about 40 km northwest of Milan.
AC Milan said the club is continuing its journey together with Clivet, strengthening their shared commitment to well-being, innovation, and sustainability
The club said in a statement, “AC Milan is proud to reinforce its long-term commitment to natural comfort, innovation and sustainability by renewing and expanding its partnership with Clivet, which now becomes the Club’s Official Climate Partner.
“Clivet brings a unique blend of innovation, efficiency, and environmental awareness, promoting healthy, high-performance spaces that place daily well-being – particularly that of athletes – at the centre, helping enhance performance.”
AC Milan, more commonly referred to as Milan, is an Italian professional football club based in Milan, Lombardy (Italy). Founded in 1899, the club competes in Serie A, the top tier of Italian football.
At the heart of the new agreement is Milanello, AC Milan’s iconic training ground – a symbol of heritage, excellence, and growth.
A sacred place in the club’s history, Milanello is where legends are made and where the Rossoneri identity is forged. Today, it continues to shape the next generation of players, standing as a true temple of football that bridges tradition with innovation.
Rooted in shared and authentic values, the partnership with Clivet becomes a strategic collaboration to not only elevate Milanello into a healthier, more efficient space but also to develop forward-thinking projects dedicated to the well-being of people and the environment – both on and off the pitch.
As part of the new agreement, Clivet also becomes the Sleeve Partner of AC Milan’s Training Kit, with its logo appearing on the sleeves of the official training gear worn by the Men’s First Team and Women’s First Team, Milan Futuro, and the men’s Primavera squad.
Maikel Oettle, Chief Commercial Officer of AC Milan, said, “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 are extremely proud to strengthen our partnership with AC Milan, a Club with which we share core values such as commitment to achieving goals and innovation.
“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 contribute to the Club’s success actively.”
Clivet, a leader in heat pump-based systems for sustainable heating, cooling, ventilation, and air purification, has already played a key role in improving the environmental performance of the Club’s infrastructure.
The collaboration began before the official partnership in 2021, with early installations at the PUMA House of Football.
Since then, Clivet’s systems have enhanced air quality and climate control at Milanello, the Milan Futuro building, Casa Milan, and San Siro Stadium.
