LONDON (Reuters) – Arsenal’s new ground at Ashburton Grove will be called the Emirates Stadium after the Premier League champions signed a sponsorship deal with Emirates Airlines worth 100 million pounds.
The Dubai-based airline will have naming rights for the next 15 years at the stadium, which is near Arsenal’s current Highbury home and is due to open in 2006 at a cost of 357 million pounds.
Emirates are certainly in a spending mood! First they sponsor Chelsea, and now this!
Can we look forward to Virgin ‘Galactic’ to sponsor Real Madrid? 😉

actually Roman Ambramovich sponsering Chelsea isnt that daft at all,Peterborough Utd did it a few years back, i believe its a legal loophole in the tax system.

Was just going to say that I thought that!
Apparantly the deal runs out at the end of next year, I imagine Chelsea will have a big ‘Roman Abramovich’ on their shirts then 😉
