Arsenal have extended their long-standing partnership with Emirates by five years.

The deal, which was announced on the morning of Arsenal's Emirates Cup clash against AS Monaco, will see the UAE's leading flag carrier remain on the front of the Gunners' men's, women's, and academy team shirts until at least 2028.

This means that the partnership will have lasted for a minimum of 22 years, making it the longest-running front-of-shirt sponsorship in Premier League history.

Arsenal Chief Commercial Officer Juliet Slot said: "We are incredibly proud to make history by extending our partnership with Emirates until 2028. The longevity of our special relationship is a sign of our enduring shared values, our ambition to bring our global communities together, and our commitment to building on the numerous achievements that have marked our 17-year journey to date.

"As we take our partnership to a minimum of 22 years together, we’re excited to move forward and we’re focused on celebrating more incredible moments with our supporters around the world."

Emirates has been a major part of Arsenal's history since the club moved to Emirates Stadium in 2006. The airline's name has been on the stadium's exterior ever since, and it has also sponsored the club's shirts and training kits.

The extension of the partnership is a major coup for Arsenal, and it shows that Emirates is still committed to the club. It is also a sign of the strength of the relationship between the two organizations.

The match between Arsenal and Monaco was a close affair, with the two teams drawing 1-1. However, the announcement of the new sponsorship deal was a major talking point after the game, and it is sure to be a source of pride for Arsenal fans for many years to come.
