American travel technology company Expedia Group have inked a deal with UEFA to become the official travel partner of UEFA Champions League for three seasons.
The deal will grant the Group’s online portal brands Expedia and Hotels.com exposure across the stadiums during the European club football’s flagship tournament for three seasons spanning 2018-19 to 2020-21.
