Bundesliga: Emirates expected to remain jersey sponsor of the Hamburg SV until 2018-19

The airline Emirates is expected to extend its partnership as the shirt sponsor of Hamburger SV (Bundesliga), announced the German daily newspaper Hamburger Abendblatt on 19/09/2015. The current contract expires in June 2015 and would be renewed for three seasons, until 2018-19.

"It is true that we had very promising meeting with Emirates. The extension is not yet signed, but it seems positive. For us, it would of course be a great success," said Joachim Hilke, marketing director of Hamburger SV. The extension would be under similar conditions, given that the Emirati company pays an annual amount estimated at between €7.5m and €8.5m. The extension of the agreement comes with the club having maintained their top flight status in the Bundesliga for two successive seasons in 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons. The formalisation of the contract could take place in the coming weeks, according to Abendblatt.

Hamburger SV generated €24.73m in sponsorship revenue during the 2013-14 season.
