London: Emirates Airline and Arsenal Football Club announced today the extension of their long-standing partnership, continuing a journey that began more than two decades ago. Under the new agreement, Emirates will continue to sponsor the team's shirt and training kits, as well as retain the naming rights to Emirates Stadium until 2033.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the agreement reinforces the longest continuous shirt sponsorship partnership in the English Premier League and opens a new chapter in the established relationship between the airline and the club. The partnership between Emirates and Arsenal began in 2006 and has continued to grow ever since to become one of the most prestigious partnerships in global football. The partnership has accompanied the club throughout the Emirates Stadium era, evolving in parallel with its ambitions and contributing to the expansion of both parties' global presence.

The extension of the partnership comes at a significant stage in Arsenal's history, following their recent Premier League title win. The new agreement will build on a number of initiatives that have marked key milestones in the partnership, most notably the Emirates Cup, which hosts top international football teams at Emirates Stadium every summer, and the Global Gooners initiative, which gives Arsenal fans from around the world the chance to visit North London and experience the club for the first time.

The new chapter of the partnership begins this weekend when Arsenal hosts Borussia Dortmund in North London as part of the Emirates Cup. The event program includes a range of activities celebrating more than 20 years of shared history and looking ahead to the next phase for both the club and the airline.

Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline, said that Emirates and Arsenal have successfully built a strong partnership over more than two decades, one that transcends traditional sponsorship. This partnership is based on a shared vision and mutual ambition to grow, influence, and reach wider audiences worldwide. It has enabled us to connect with millions of Arsenal fans across the Emirates network and beyond, delivering exceptional experiences that have strengthened their connection to the club and created real value for both parties-value that could not have been achieved to the same extent independently.
