Emirates, the Official Main Partner of Real Madrid, has revealed a special livery on one of its Boeing 777 aircraft. The plane arrived in Madrid on Tuesday, transporting the club’s first-team players on a specially chartered flight to Jeddah in advance of the Spanish Super Cup tournament, which is scheduled to take place from January 8 to 12.
Long-standing partnership
Since becoming a partner of Real Madrid in 2011, Emirates took on the role of the club’s jersey sponsor in 2013. The airline is set to continue as the Official Main Sponsor of the Spanish club until 2026, marking the longest jersey sponsorship in La Liga’s history. The eye-catching design showcases several of the club’s star players, including Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Luka Modric, Jude Bellingham, Lucas Vazquez, and Federico Valverde.
