The Gunners have announced Mastercard as the first major Official Partner for Arsenal Women.
Arsenal Women’s General Manager, Clare Wheatley said, “This partnership is an exciting new chapter for us.

Arsenal’s Managing Director, Vinai Venkatesham added: “Partnering with a global player like Mastercard is a huge statement for women’s sport. The partnership will help us build on our success, but it will also promote the women’s game globally and continue to develop and attract the world’s best talent and inspire generations of young sportswomen.”
Raja Rajamannar, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, Mastercard said: “By investing significantly in women’s football, as a professional and influential sport, we have an opportunity to directly impact the lives of athletes and help build sustainable programmes to which girls and women around the world can aspire.”
