- New Logo Launch: The UAE Football Association (UAEFA) unexpectedly launched a new media brand identity and logo during the UAE President’s Cup draw ceremony.
- Design Change: The new logo is simpler and more modern looking than the previous logo, but it is also considered to have less of a unique identity.
- Inspiration and Meaning: The logo is inspired by the Qasr Al Hosn Fort and aims to represent resilience, courage, and national pride.
Out of nowhere (the Asian Cup is still running, but UAE are knocked out since one week), the United Arab Emirates Football Association (UAEFA) has launched a new media brand identity for the association during the draw ceremony for the Round of 16 of the UAE President’s Cup.
The new UAE football logo comes just one week after UAE's exit from the Asian Cup in the round of 16.
United Arab Emirates Football Association 2024 Logo
The new UAE Football Association logo is totally different from before. It has a much more simple and edgy look, but surely less "identity".
More modern, but less identity
The UAEFA's new logo is inspired by the Qasr Al Hosn Fort and "embodies the association’s values of resilience, courage, and strategic planning. Wrapped in the colors of the UAE flag, the logo signifies a deep sense of national pride and belonging".

First Time in 12 Years: Juventus Bring Back Long-Sleeved Kits on Pitch
Making his Juventus debut in the match against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade was the only Juventus player on the pitch wearing long sleeves. Excluding special-edition kits, the German strike became the first Bianconeri player made this choice since Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio back in the 13-14 season.
Remarkably, even Cristiano Ronaldo, a long-sleeve icon, never wore one during his time in Turin.
Liverpool Could Use a Text-Only Turkish Airlines Sponsor?
Liverpool have announced that Turkish Airlines will become the club's new shirt sponsor from the 2027-28 season, ending the Reds' 17-year partnership with Standard Chartered.
While early fan concepts have used Turkish Airlines' familiar circular bird logo above the wordmark, a text-only sponsor could also be a realistic option.
The airline previously used a simplified two-line “TURKISH AIRLINES” wordmark on River Plate's shirts between 2019 and 2022, while Turkish clubs such as Galatasaray and Samsunspor have also used streamlined typographic versions of the branding.
A text-only layout could give Liverpool's future Adidas shirts a cleaner, less crowded look. The final sponsor application has yet to be confirmed, with the partnership set to begin in June 2027.
