Etihad Airways will become the main sponsor of Girona FC from next season. This strategic alliance, set for three years, underscores Etihad’s commitment to the Spanish market and enhancing connectivity and cultural exchange.
Etihad has expanded its Spanish operations by nearly 50% since last summer. In 2024, the airline will operate 10 weekly flights to both Madrid and Barcelona. Additionally, seasonal flights to Málaga will start on 2 June, further boosting travel and tourism between the regions.
This partnership reflects a shared commitment to excellence, community, and the power of connecting people and cultures. Girona FC, with its rich history and passionate fan base, aligns perfectly with Etihad’s values of ambition and high standards.
“We are thrilled to partner with Girona FC, a club that resonates with our brand values and aspirations,” said Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer of Etihad Airways. “This sponsorship is a testament to our dedication to the Spanish market and our aim to strengthen the bonds between the UAE and Spain.”
Delfí Geli, President of Girona FC, added, “We are incredibly proud to welcome Etihad Airways as our main sponsor. This partnership embraces a future where we can grow together in strength and spirit. Etihad’s global perspective and commitment to excellence reflect our own aspirations on and off the pitch.”
The collaboration between Etihad Airways and Girona FC is more than a sponsorship; it is a mutual commitment to foster community spirit and bring people together. This partnership aims to enhance the fan experience and provide more opportunities to engage with sport globally.
As the main sponsor, Etihad Airways will feature prominently on Girona FC’s team kits from the coming season and within the club’s home ground. The partnership will also offer exciting new opportunities for fans, including unique promotions and special events, celebrating this union of cultures and passions.
Travellers from Abu Dhabi flying to Barcelona will have an even greater incentive to explore the charming region around Girona. Catalonia, with its picturesque landscapes, vibrant cities, and rich cultural heritage, offers a wealth of experiences. Visitors can enjoy exceptional cuisine, various cultural festivals, and cheer for Girona FC at the Estadi Montilivi, adding an exciting sporting experience to their journey.
