Emirates to Partner with Real Madrid

Hi all,
Emirates continues to invest heavily in football. After AC Milan, Arsenal, PSG, and others, the UAE Airline partners with spanish giant Real Madrid. The deal runs for the next 5 seasons.

Real Madrid and Emirates presented a new sponsorship deal for the next five years. The deal, announced at a press conference today (July 29) at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, sees Emirates become a Partner and Official Airline to the club for the next five years.

Florentino Perez said: “Emirates is a world-renowned company that has always respected and valued sport. The airline shares our belief in loyalty, effort, commitment and innovation and these common principles will create a special understanding. We strongly believe this is a strategic alliance bridging us with our many followers all over the world.”

“Having launched flights to Madrid on 1st August last year, this is a tremendous way for Emirates to mark the first anniversary of the route, while demonstrating our on-going support to sports and sports followers around the world,” added Salem Obaidalla

The act ended with an exchange of gifts. Real Madrid presented Emirates representatives with a customised shirt, and in turn received a scale replica of one of the airline’s airbuses. [Source: Real Madrid.com]

Emirates keeps a strong footprint in global football. After partnering with major clubs, the UAE airline adds Real Madrid to its portfolio.
