~ Bringing exclusive Real Madrid experiences to India’s rapidly growing football fandom through e-commerce collaborations
NIVEA MEN and Real Madrid – global icons in skincare and football – have extended their long-standing partnership, reinforcing a shared commitment to performance, precision, and excellence.
As the collaboration evolves, NIVEA MEN is placing greater focus on fan engagement – bringing supporters closer to the club through elevated, experience-led initiatives that go beyond the game.
India is emerging as a key market in this journey. With one of the fastest-growing football fan bases globally, driven by young, digitally engaged audiences, the sport is rapidly moving into the mainstream. Real Madrid enjoys a deeply loyal following across metros and emerging cities, reflected in everything from late-night match screenings to vibrant fan communities.
To further engage consumers around the partnership, NIVEA MEN India is collaborating with leading e-commerce platforms to launch exciting consumer activations. Shoppers purchasing NIVEA MEN products above a specified value will stand a chance to win a trip to Spain to watch Real Madrid live, along with exciting official Real Madrid merchandise. The campaign will be activated in phases with e-commerce partners across June–October 2027.
Shweta Dalal, Marketing Director, NIVEA India, said, “Football in India today is so much more than a sport; it’s a shared passion that brings people together across cities, screens, and communities. From late–night match screenings to everyday conversations, the love for the game runs deep, especiallyamong young fans who are shaping this culture in exciting new ways. And while this passion is thriving in India, it’s also part of a global culture that unites millions across continents under the same anthem of the beautiful game . Clubs like Real Madrid hold a special place in their hearts, inspiring a sense of belonging and pride. At NIVEA MEN, we see this as an opportunity to connect with fans in a way that feels authentic and meaningful. Much like Real Madrid – whose very name ‘Real’ means royal in Spanish
