As part of the agreement, the brand's logo will be visible on officials' kits from the 2025-26 season. BKT will also become the "official tyre partner" of the Copa del Rey Mapfre final, and will be displayed on signage in the hospitality areas, the press room and during the televised broadcast of the match.
