Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) Lee Kang-in will play with the "McDonald's Ligue 2024-2025 Champion Sleeve Badge" next season.
Football media outlet "Footy Headlines" released its champion sleeve badge for the 2024-2025 season of McDonald's Ligue 1 in France on Wednesday. "McDonald's will replace Uber Eats as French sponsor starting from the 2024-2025 season. As a result, a new McDonald's Ligue 1 champion sleeve layout will be introduced for the 2024-2025 season," the media said.
The French Ligue 1 is the official name of the French national football league. As the soccer league includes France and Monaco, League 1 literally means League 1. League One is considered one of the top five European soccer leagues. The number of teams has been reduced to 18 from this season, and the home-and-away method will cover a total of 34 rounds to determine the winner.
The original name of Ligue 1 was "Division 1." Since the 2002-03 season, the name has been used as "Ligang" and has been called "Le Championnat".
Its title sponsor is "Uber Eats." Uber Eats signed an official French Ligue 1 partnership in 2019, was chosen as the title sponsor in 2020, and renewed its sponsorship in 2021 to maintain its title sponsorship. From the 2020-21 season, League 1 Uber Eats was created as we know it.
Starting next season, however, the French Ligue 1 team will no longer be called the "Uppes Ligue 1 team." "McDonald's signed a contract worth about 20 million euros (about 28.9 billion won) to acquire the naming rights of the French Ligue 1 team," said After Foot.
Uber Eats previously signed a contract worth 15 million euros. As McDonald's offered 5 million euros more, it will have the right to name the company next season. The French Ligue 1 will also change its official name from next season. It said the French Ligue 1 will be called "Lie en McDonald's."
Lee Kang-in, who has been playing for PSG since the 2024-25 season, will play for the French Ligue 1 team. He will also have a McDonald's champion sleeve badge on his arm sleeve, which he can wear as a member of this season's winning team. Lee Kang-in, who moved to PSG ahead of this season, contributed to the Ligue 1 championship by scoring two goals and three assists in 20 matches. 안전놀이터 추천
The design of the champion badge Lee Kang-in will also change. The new McDonald's Ligue 1 champion sleeve badge features a different design from the previous badge, with the star in the center representing the Eiffel Tower, the year PSG won the league printed on it, and the Eiffel Tower symbolizing PSG is engraved. The new Ligue 1 logo is in the center, with the McDonald's sponsor logo and the phrase "Champion 2024" under it, the media added.
However, Mbappe will not be able to wear the McDonald's champion sleeve badge for the next season. Mbappe posted a video on his SNS account on Wednesday, and he said he would leave PSG after the end of this season. Mbappe said, "I have always told my fans that I will tell them when the time is right, and I want to let them know that it is my last season at PSG." Real Madrid is the most likely Mbappe's next destination.
