Turkish Airlines, renowned as the principal sponsor of the UEFA Champions League, now invites travelers to discover an exclusive UEFA Champions League Finals exhibition within its Business Lounge at Istanbul Airport. This immersive display chronicles 18 unforgettable finals, starting with the legendary 2005 Liverpool-AC Milan clash—dubbed the "Miracle of Istanbul"—and spanning through to 2024, with curated artifacts and memorabilia from each iconic match. At the heart of the exhibit stands a meticulously crafted model of Turkish Airlines’ Airbus A330, adorned in a bespoke UEFA Champions League livery.
Guests are treated to an impressive array of authentic football memorabilia, including match-worn jerseys, shorts, goalkeeper gloves, and captain’s armbands from global icons such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and Gareth Bale. The collection is further enriched with rare keepsakes from each final: official referee kits, commemorative flags, signed footballs, and original match tickets. Every final’s dedicated section features multimedia highlights and match insights, delivering an engaging journey for aficionados and casual fans alike.
Turkish Airlines has also introduced its redesigned Business Class suites, now featuring an interactive gaming zone equipped with the latest FIFA 25 video game, elevating the in-lounge entertainment offering for premium passengers.
