Emirates, the world’s largest international airline, and Real Madrid CF, the world’s most successful football club have renewed their partnership to 2031, Emirates publishes on its official website.
Emirates has been a partner of Real Madrid since 2011, with the relationship deepening further in 2013 when the airline became the club's official jersey sponsor. As part of the renewed partnership, Emirates will continue as Official Main Sponsor and Official Airline Partner of both the men’s and women’s teams, with its iconic branding on player jerseys, training kits, and team staff apparel across all major competitions, including La Liga, the UEFA Champions League, Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup. The renewal also marks a major milestone for both brands, becoming the longest-running jersey sponsorship in La Liga history.
Beyond match kits, the renewed agreement includes extensive Emirates brand visibility throughout Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, access to the club’s training facilities, and the Emirates Lounge, an exclusive in-stadium hospitality space that brings the airline's signature experience to its loyal customers and trade partners. The partnership also extends to Real Madrid’s youth teams, supporting the development of the next generation of talent at the grassroots level, and underlining the airline’s commitment to the future of the game.

Benfica, and Olympique Lyonnais. Emirates is also the Platinum Partner to German football powerhouse FC Bayern Munich’s first team. Emirates has been the title sponsor of the Emirates FA Cup for nearly a decade, and in the UAE, the airline supports the Pro League, consisting of 14 clubs competing for a national title.
Emirates’ sponsorship portfolio is the largest of any airline and spans the world’s most beloved, most played and most watched sports, including football, tennis, rugby, basketball, sailing, cycling, golf, horse-racing, cricket and even Aussie Rules Football. Through its global sponsorship portfolio, Emirates brings fans closer to the sports, clubs, and events they love.
