FC Barcelona announce EGYPTAIR as new Global Partner

Futbol Club Barcelona have announced a multi-year partnership agreement with EGYPTAIR, bringing it on board as their Global Partner and Exclusive Official Airline of their men’s football first team, the basketball team and the handball team.

The partnership, set to run until the end of the 2028/29 season, will put the Egyptian state-owned flag carrier’s logo on the jerseys of Barça’s handball team. EGYPTAIR will also offer its travel services to the Catalan club. 

Marc Bruix, Global Sponsorships Director, FC Barcelona, commented:

“Connecting FC Barcelona with EGYPTAIR, a benchmark for excellence and history in international aviation is a natural step to take in our expansion. This sponsorship reinforces our commitment to take the Barça values and passion to our followers in the Middle East and Africa, where we have an amazing fan community.”

Captain Ahmed Adel, President, EGYPTAIR Holding Company, added:

“Sponsoring one of the most prestigious clubs in the world — the current LaLiga and Spanish Super Cup champions — is an unprecedented achievement in the history of our national airline. This collaboration sees the 95-year history of EGYPTAIR dovetail with the global sporting leadership of FC Barcelona, opening new horizons to connect with football fans around the world. Our presence at the signing ceremony is testament to the shared vision of both parties to highlight the role of EGYPTAIR for connecting cultures, civilisations and people, a role that sport has represented throughout history.“
