From the 2020-2021 season, Fly Emirates will be the jersey sponsor of Olympique Lyonnais. OL do not tremble despite the global crisis which is hitting airlines hard.
Olympique Lyonnais supporters remember, it was on the eve of the official presentation of the Fly Emirates flocked jersey that OL had given up organizing this event, the first effects of the coronavirus epidemic being felt in air relations between countries. But that didn’t stop Jean-Michel Aulas’s club from enjoying the signing with the airline, which will become Lyon’s jersey sponsor from next season. Since then, the Covid19 has hit the entire planet, and the airline industry has come to a complete halt, which can obviously lead to fears of serious budget savings to come, including in a company as huge as Fly Emirates. But on the OL side, we are not afraid of a crash and we think we can count on the financial support of this major sponsor, who has committed for 5 years.
Questioned this Saturday by Agence France Presse, the general manager of Olympique Lyonnais has absolute confidence in this contract, the financial stake of which is obviously high. ” We have signed the contract with Emirates for five years which offers good visibility from next season. It was signed on July 1. I do not see why the contract would be called into question (…) Things will be regulated. (…) It’s signed. We are currently working on visibility and signage in the stadium. If the end of the season is postponed after July 1? We can imagine making each other live together. We are having discussions to find balances between partners. There is a balance to be found according to the scenarios. Because we don’t want to jeopardize the Emirates contract “Warns Thierry Sauvage, visibly confident, but who will give priority to his new partner if arbitrations have to take place due to a change in calendar.
