Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, was illuminated on Saturday night in Liverpool FC’s red colours, displaying the club crest and the words “You’ll Never Walk Alone” in a high-visibility activation that underscored the Premier League club’s global brand reach.

Strategic Brand Exposure in a Key Growth Market

The light show was visible across downtown Dubai and widely shared on global social media platforms, generating significant organic impressions. The display connected Liverpool with one of the most recognisable architectural landmarks in the world, reinforcing the club’s market presence in the Middle East, a strategically important region for fan growth and commercial partnerships.
