“Our warmest congratulations to the six exceptional football
players for their stellar performances and for winning the Alipay+
Top Scorer award,” said Eric Jing, Chairman and CEO of Ant Group,
while presenting the award at the Berlin Olympiastadion. “Just as
these athletes push the boundaries of excellence with strength,
ingenuity and teamwork, Alipay+ advances global commerce through
digital innovation, empowering people and businesses
worldwide.”
Alipay+, a suite of cross-border mobile payment and
digitalization technology solutions operated by Ant International,
is the Official Partner of UEFA EURO 2024™. The Alipay+ Top Scorer
trophy, sculpted in the shape of the Chinese character “支”
(pronounced zhi, meaning payment as well as support), reflects
Alipay+’s dedication to supporting consumers to enjoy seamless
cross-border payment and access personalised deals when using their
preferred payment methods while traveling abroad.
The character also resembles the fleeting moment of a barefooted
striker poised to shoot, evoking the original beauty and power of
football – a game that unit people across the world with passion,
ambition, and solidarity. The base of the trophy resembles the
ocean, consisting of 24 undulating pieces each inscribed with the
names of the participating countries, while the design symbolizes
the 24 teams braving the waves at the competition. The ocean also
connects continents, which represents how football connects
communities across the world similar to Alipay+ connecting global
commerce.
Alipay+ has now enabled over 400,000 merchants in Europe, with
over 120,000 in the DACH region alone. Among the 15 Alipay+ mobile

Philippines), OCBC Digital and Changi Pay (Singapore), TrueMoney
(Thailand), Tinaba (Italy), Bluecode (Germany and Austria) and
Kakao Pay, Naver Pay and Toss Pay (South Korea).
“With Alipay+ and our global partnerships, global fans and
visitors explore Germany, Europe and the bigger world seamlessly
using their preferred payment methods. Digital commerce connects
communities worldwide just like football,” said Jing. “Looking
ahead, we are committed to advancing digital technologies for
everyone, supporting a robust, inclusive, and sustainable global
digital economy.”
