Arsenal FC players made their way to Dubai aboard Emirates airbus A380 for a friendly match with Al Nasr Sports club. The soccer club that traveled yesterday March 21st will also be inaugurating Al Maktoum Stadium on Tuesday 26 March.
The new mid-season training will see the gunners camp in Dubai as they carry on trainings in warm weather sessions while they prepare for final weeks of their football season.
Arsenal’s visit to the Persian Gulf region marks their first time to fly aboard the Emirates A380 airbus throughout the Airline’s history and this will continue as Emirates promises to fly more Arsenal fans for its one of the most greatest football clubs in the world.
The bespoke decal showcases the Arsenal Crest and features Lucas Torreira, Mesut Ozil, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alexandre Lacazette. The decal covers a sizable area of 383sqm around the aircraft, with the images of the players identifiable from both the ground and in the air.
Arsenal soccer fans will have chance to view the A380 under tail number, A6-EEB, as it travels around the world with scheduled flights planned to Paris, London Heathrow, Amsterdam, Bangkok and Hong Kong.
The partnership between the airline and the football club currently stands as one of the long lived one in the sports fraternity as they penned down a new deal in 2018 where the airline is to feature on Arsenal football club jersey for the next five years until end of the 2023 -2024 season.
The sponsorship was the largest ever signed by a club and one of the biggest ever agreed in football. The Emirates and Arsenal partnership is also the longest running relationship in the Premier League, with the total duration of Emirates’ shirt branding spanning 18 years. Arsenal’s home also continues to be known as Emirates Stadium until 2028.
The airlines involvement in sponsorships and support towards global football and several popular events has enabled them to fly major football clubs to the United Arab Emirates for competition in unique tourneys, connect clubs to fans in the region plus capitalizing on opportunities that will link local clubs with international soccer teams.
