Chelsea have finally secured a new sponsor for the front of their shirts after reaching an agreement with DAMAC Properties.
The Premier League side have been without a front sponsor on their outfield shirts since their three-year £120 million deal with telecommunications company Three ended in 2023.
DAMAC have now agreed a ‘long-term global partnership’ with Chelsea to become the club’s official property development partner.
As part of their agreement, DAMAC will feature on the front of Chelsea men’s and women’s shirts for the rest of the season.
The shirts with the new DAMAC front sponsor will make their debut in Chelsea’s Conference League semi-final tie against Djurgarden on Thursday night.
