Bayern Munich Ends Controversial Sponsorship With Qatar Airways
- Bayern Munich and Qatar Airways mutually agreed to end their five-year partnership at the end of June.
- The sponsorship deal caused tension between Bayern Munich and its fans due to concerns over Qatar's human rights record.
- Bayern players wore the Qatar Airways logo on their sleeves and traveled to Qatar for winter training camps.
- Fan groups campaigned against renewing the deal due to Qatar's human rights issues.
- The departure of Oliver Kahn, a strong supporter of the deal, and Bayern's disappointing season also contributed to ending the sponsorship.
