Arsenal and Hotels.com have announced a new multi-year partnership, making Hotels.com the ‘official and exclusive hotel partner for both Arsenal’s men’s and women’s teams’.

The partnership aims to offer curated travel packages for Arsenal supporters, allowing them to follow their team both domestically and across Europe.

The partnership guarantees that Hotels.com will be prominently displayed at both the Emirates Stadium and Meadow Park for men’s and women’s games.

Additionally, the agreement allows Hotels.com the opportunity to feature Arsenal’s male and female players in customised content.

Expedia Group, the parent company of Hotels.com, views this partnership as a continued commitment to the growth of female athletes and women’s football. This aligns with Arsenal’s objectives of accelerating the development of women’s football.

Juliet Slot, Arsenal’s Chief Commercial Officer, said, “We’re proud to introduce Hotels.com as our new partner. A big part of the enjoyment of football is travelling to matches home and away, across the country, around Europe and when we go further afield on tour.

“We’re delighted to have Hotels.com as a like-minded partner who shares our passion for bringing supporters together to experience the excitement our games bring. We’re looking forward to working together and helping Hotels.com to connect with all our supporters in unique and exciting ways.”

Jon Gieselman, president of Expedia Brands, also expressed enthusiasm about the partnership. “Football is a universally loved sport, drawing millions of fans who travel far and near to watch their favourite teams.

“Our goal is to enhance this passion by simplifying and creating a seamless travel experience for fans. Teaming up with a prestigious club like Arsenal, we not only open more doors for Arsenal fans to travel but also unite fans from all around the world and make every game an unforgettable adventure.”

The partnership between Arsenal and Hotels.com demonstrates a shared vision for enriching the football experience, from the stadium to travel and beyond. Both organisations aim to create a more integrated experience for Arsenal fans, providing additional layers of engagement around the sport they love.
