AC Milan ended their Emirates-sponsored Dubai Training Camp with a victory over Hamburg SV, in the Dubai Football Challenge at Emirates’ sporting venue, The Sevens, on Tuesday evening.
David Beckham made his first match appearance for AC Milan before being substituted at half-time with AC Milan eventually winning 4-3 on penalties after the game ended in a 1-1 draw.
His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline & Group said: “Emirates is proud that through our sponsorship we have been able to bring both AC Milan and Hamburg SV to Dubai to take part in such spectacular match this evening, at our own sporting venue, The Sevens.
“During their training camps in Dubai both teams have enjoyed the benefits of our world-class facilities and the perfect weather. It has also been a fantastic opportunity for local football supporters to be able to see teams of such a high calibre in action during the public training sessions.”
