Arsenal Football Club and Emirates have announced a long-term renewal of one of the longest-running and most recognisable partnerships in world sport.

The agreement will see Emirates continue as the Premier League champion’s front-of-shirt, training kit and stadium naming rights partner through to 2033.

Arsenal and Emirates first partnered in 2006 and have since built one of football's defining partnerships.

Spanning the entire Emirates Stadium era, the relationship has evolved alongside the club – supporting Arsenal's ambitions, strengthening both organisations' global reach and creating new ways for supporters around the world to connect with Arsenal.

The new agreement will build on many of the flagship initiatives that have defined the partnership, including the Emirates Cup, which brings world-class football to Emirates Stadium each summer, and Global Gooners, which gives supporters from around the world the opportunity to experience Arsenal in North London for the first time.

The next chapter of the partnership will begin this weekend as Arsenal welcome Borussia Dortmund to North London for the Emirates Cup, with a programme of anniversary activity celebrating more than two decades of shared history while looking ahead to the next chapter still to be written.

Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline, will attend alongside Arsenal senior leadership as part of the celebrations.

Richard Garlick, Arsenal Chief Executive, said: "Winning the Premier League is an incredibly proud moment in our club's history and one that belongs to everyone connected with Arsenal. Emirates has been an integral part of this success – standing alongside us throughout this journey and sharing in the defining moments, challenges and successes that have shaped our club over the past two decades."

"Very few partnerships in the world of sport can claim foundations like these. What comes next is building on that strength for the millions of Arsenal supporters who carry this club with them wherever they are, in every corner of the world, and we could not be more excited about the history we will make together in the years to come," added Sir Tim Clark.

Over the coming weeks, Arsenal and Emirates will celebrate 20 years of partnership through a series of special moments and supporter experiences, reflecting on the journey that has shaped the Emirates era while looking ahead to the future the two organisations will continue to build together.
