Arsenal FC Commercial Partnerships: A 2025 Strategic Overview

Arsenal enter 2025 with one of the most vibrant and commercially robust partnership portfolios in world football, underpinned by long-term deals that enhance global brand positioning and maximise revenue streams. The club’s strategy centres on securing high-value agreements that combine financial strength with fan engagement, while expanding into new international markets.

Its commercial backbone rests on its established Principal Partners – adidas, Emirates, SOBHA Realty and Visit Rwanda – while recent additions include Guinness, Airwallex and Asahi. The club also continues to prioritise the growth of its women’s team, investment in sustainability, and digital innovation, cementing its reputation as one of football’s most powerful global brands.

Principal partners: pillars of commercial strength

Arsenal’s Principal Partners form the cornerstone of its commercial power, delivering major financial backing and extensive brand reach. These long-term relationships are integral to the club’s development as a global sporting and cultural entity.

adidas (official kit manufacturer)

Arsenal’s partnership with adidas, renewed after their 2019–20 reunion, has been extended until 2030 in a record-breaking agreement worth £75 million per year – the richest kit manufacturing deal in Premier League history. The relationship extends beyond performance wear, with a strong focus on Arsenal Women, raising their international profile. adidas also supports community projects, including the No More Red campaign, which tackles youth violence. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to excellence on the pitch and social responsibility off it.

Emirates (front-of-shirt and stadium naming rights)

The Emirates sponsorship, in place since 2006, is among the most recognisable and enduring deals in football. Extended until 2028, it is now the longest front-of-shirt agreement in Premier League history. Worth around £40 million annually, the partnership covers the men’s, women’s and academy teams, and includes naming rights to Emirates Stadium. It reflects a shared ambition to connect global communities through football.

SOBHA Realty (official global real estate partner)

In September 2023, Arsenal announced a landmark four-year global partnership with Dubai-based luxury property developer SOBHA Realty. It became the club’s first Official Global Real Estate Partner and the first in the Premier League to secure training ground naming rights. The Sobha Realty Training Centre now bears its name, with branding also prominent at Emirates Stadium. The deal includes community initiatives such as youth football clinics, highlighting a shared commitment to excellence and engagement.

Visit Rwanda (official tourism partner and sleeve sponsor)

Arsenal’s partnership with Visit Rwanda, first signed in 2018, made the East African nation the club’s official tourism partner and first-ever sleeve sponsor. Confirmed as active in 2025, the deal has been highly effective in promoting Rwanda’s tourism industry and national brand, with the country’s tourism budget reportedly increasing by 24 per cent since 2019.

The agreement includes branding on the men’s, women’s and academy kits, as well as player visits and Emirates Stadium visibility. These activations have helped position Rwanda as a cultural destination to a vast global audience. However, the partnership is now under heightened scrutiny, creating one of the most significant reputational challenges Arsenal’s commercial department has faced in recent years.

Global partners: expanding reach and specialisation

Arsenal’s global partners reflect a strategy to build the brand across multiple industries and markets. These deals often include specific product category exclusivity, international marketing activations and community-focused campaigns to deepen fan engagement worldwide.

The deal also increases in-stadium, digital and fan engagement presence, with a co-branded special edition brew planned later in the season.

The collaboration comprises worldwide activations and special content distributed over all social media platforms. The branding of Betway is evident in the advertising boards in Emirates Stadium in all domestic matches in the Premier League, FA cup, and Carabao cup, which gives the brand the visibility it needs at a global scale. The partnership also focuses on the idea of responsible gambling, which is consistent with industry-wide practice.

Branding is featured at Emirates Stadium and Meadow Park, with content aimed at promoting MG’s electric vehicle range.

NTT Data joined as Arsenal’s global digital transformation partner in September 2024, tasked with enhancing fan experiences through advanced analytics, machine learning and real-time integration. The aim is to deliver personalised content, offers and exclusive access to supporters.

Persil (Unilever’s Dirt Is Good) – official laundry partner

In August 2023, Arsenal signed a two-year global deal with Unilever’s ‘Dirt Is Good’ brand, marketed in the UK as Persil, for both the men’s and women’s teams.
