Lot Information

Lot 1

The current Emirates Arena ten-year naming rights sponsorship agreement is coming to an end later this year. The sponsorship partnership with Emirates Airlines has been highly successful. The sponsorship started when the venue was opened in 2012. Glasgow Life is now looking to establish another successful partnership with a new naming rights sponsor. The Emirates Arena is a world-class sporting venue and over the last ten years it has hosted a range of international sporting events in the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome and athletics arena and welcomed some of the world's finest athletes. The venue has welcomed over 3 million visitors over the last ten years and hosts an average of 50 international, national, and local events every year. This will include the inaugural UCI World Cycling Championships in 2023.

In March 2024, the Arena will host the World Athletics Indoor Championships. Emirates Arena hosts more than 50 tournaments and championships every year e.g., major international sporting events including Davis Cup, World Indoor Athletics Championships, Glasgow International Athletics Match, Scottish Badminton Grand Prix, major competitions in sports as diverse as karate, cheerleading, judo, and netball.

Glasgow Life will base allocation of brands/organisations on the strength of the relationship the sponsorship agency has with the specific brand / organisation. Agencies may be required to enter into a no fee and commission based agreement with Glasgow Life that will be non-exclusive. Prior to appointing a single agency to proceed with a commission-based concession agreement, it is intended that Glasgow Life will provide all agencies with the opportunity to confirm any potential offers they have secured. Such offers will will then be assessed by Glasgow Life on the basis of criteria including sponsorship income received, commission percentage payable to the agency, and the fit between the brand and Glasgow Life.
