Emirates Extends Olympique Lyonnais Sponsorship for Further 5 Years

Emirates has strengthened its sports sponsorship presence by extending its partnership with French Ligue 1 side, Olympique Lyonnais.

The airline will remain the club’s shirt sponsor for another five years, until the end of the 2029-2030 season.

Emirates will remain the shirt sponsor of Olympique Lyonnais with its signature “fly better” logo on all playing jerseys and training kits during the club’s matches, including Ligue 1 and European matches until June 30, 2030. 

Boutros Boutros, Executive Vice President of Corporate Communications, Marketing and Brand at Emirates said: “We’re pleased to announce our extended commitment to Olympique Lyonnais – one of the most loved and respected teams in France. We began sponsoring Olympique Lyonnais in 2020 and the partnership has yielded significant brand visibility for Emirates. We share values of excellence, community engagement, and an innovative spirit, and we will continue building on our collaborative success. 

“The renewal also reflects our commitment to Lyon, the Rhône Alpes region and to France. We look forward to engaging with and bringing fans from all over the world closer to the action.” 

The agreement will also provide Emirates with significant visible branding across Groupama Stadium, as well as hospitality tickets, player access, marketing, advertising and social rights.

John Textor, Olympique Lyonnais Owner and CEO of Eagle Football Group, said: “We are delighted to continue our journey alongside Emirates for the next five seasons and to explore the many opportunities that lie ahead. The trust that has been built between our teams since 2020 will continue to grow, bringing our fans unforgettable moments of sharing and escape through football.”
