Ted Lasso Wiki

Dubai Air is a fictional airline featured in the Apple TV+ series, Ted Lasso and was the main sponsor of AFC Richmond. Their logo got pride of place on the club's team jerseys, and within the Dogtrack. Many surfaces in the stadium were plastered with the logo. Animated ad boards proclaimed that there were 'big seat discounts" at the time of Ted Lasso's first encounter with Crystal Palace F.C.

Keeley Jones organized an arrangement with them for a photoshoot with Sam Obisanya. The photoshoot was initially a success, but events after that proved divisive. It is only later his father messages him that the airline is owned by a company called Ceritihium Oil, a corporation that is responsible for polluting widespread damage in his native home country, that he asks Rebecca Welton to be disassociated with the sponsor.

Rebecca says she will handle it as the CEO of the Ceritihium Oil is Rupert Mannion's billionaire friend named Richard Cole, and she will ask the man for a favor.

Before the match against Coventry City, Sam covers the Dubai Air logo on his uniform with black tape as an act of protest. Isaac McAdoo and Tommy Winchester are the firsts who cover their uniforms as an act of solidarity for being fellow Nigerians. Jamie Tartt also covers the logo on his uniform as a sign that he is now a part of the team. The rest follows and stands together getting some respect from others. During the press conference, Trent Crimm asks Sam whether he is accusing the Nigerian government of corruption, to which he replied, "Yes, I am."
