Arsenal and Emirates have renewed their long-standing partnership until 2033, extending one of the most recognisable sponsorship agreements in world sport.
Under the new deal, Emirates will continue as Arsenal’s front-of-shirt sponsor, training kit partner and stadium naming rights partner. The agreement also extends what is already the longest-running front-of-shirt partnership in Premier League history.
The two organisations first joined forces in 2006, at the beginning of the Emirates Stadium era. Their collaboration has since included initiatives such as the Emirates Cup and the Global Gooners programme, which offers international supporters the opportunity to visit North London and experience Arsenal matches.
The renewed partnership will begin with Arsenal hosting Borussia Dortmund in the Emirates Cup this weekend. Emirates Airline President Sir Tim Clark is expected to attend the event as part of celebrations marking 20 years of cooperation.
Arsenal Chief Executive Richard Garlick said Emirates had played an important role in the club’s development over the past two decades. Sir Tim Clark described the relationship as one that had grown beyond a traditional sponsorship agreement.
Arsenal and Emirates will mark the anniversary with a series of supporter events and special activities in the coming weeks.
