Abu Dhabi (Etihad)
Etihad Airways announced a new partnership with Girona Football Club, to become the main sponsor of the prestigious Spanish League club starting next season, for a period of three years. Etihad Airways has increased its operations to Spain by 50% since last summer to operate 10 weekly flights to Madrid. Barcelona in 2024, in addition, will launch seasonal flights three times a week to Malaga starting from June 2, to encourage travel and tourism between the two regions.
This partnership represents a shared commitment to excellence, community work, and supporting ways of communicating between different communities and cultures. Girona Football Club’s strategy, with its rich history and wide fan base, is perfectly aligned with Etihad Airways’ values of unleashing ambition and striving to achieve the highest standards of success at various levels.
On this occasion, Eric Dee, Chief Commercial and Revenue Officer at Etihad Airways, said: “We are pleased to cooperate with Girona FC, a club that aligns with our brand values and aspirations. This sponsorship is a testament to our commitment to the Spanish market and our goal to strengthen ties between the UAE and Spain. Etihad Airways looks forward to establishing a successful partnership with Girona and bringing the two worlds closer together through this beautiful game.”
For his part, Delfi Geli, President of Girona Football Club, said: “We are very proud to welcome Etihad Airways as an official sponsor. This partnership extends beyond traditional partnerships to embrace a future in which we can grow together. Al-Ittihad’s global expansion strategy and commitment to excellence reflects our aspirations on and off the field.”
The collaboration between Etihad Airways and Girona is not just sponsorship, but a mutual commitment to fostering community spirit and bringing people together, while enhancing the fan experience and providing more opportunities to participate in sports globally.
As the main sponsor, the Etihad Airways name will appear prominently on the Girona team kit from next season and on the club’s main stadium. The partnership will also provide exciting new opportunities for the team’s fans, including promotions and special events.
