The partnership will also help Sobha Realty bring its vision to fruition of being a truly

global real estate player to life, with expansion plans in the UK and US in addition to

Eduardo César Daud Gaspar, sporting director, Arsenal, said: "This is a very exciting
agreement that will help us develop the best possible environment for our men’s and

women’s players, coaches and support staff for years to come. Our training centre is a
big part of our people’s lives. It’s not just about working hard on the pitches, but also
working in our office spaces, learning, relaxing and spending time with teammates,
colleagues and their families. We are building a winning team and a winning culture;

attention to detail is very important and it’s crucial that our people have the right
conditions to prepare well and perform at their best."

robust partnerships that transcend boundaries, and our journey with Arsenal exemplifies
this ethos. From securing the naming rights at The WM club to becoming a principal
