Espanyol have named ARCTEMPUS as their new main sponsor for 2026-27, combining a front-of-shirt agreement with plans for joint projects spanning the RCDE Stadium, hospitality, architecture and culture.
Espanyol have signed real estate and investment company ARCTEMPUS as their new main sponsor, putting the brand on the front of the first-team shirt for the 2026-27 season and linking the partnership to wider activation around the RCDE Stadium.ARCTEMPUS will also receive exposure across other club assets and spaces, while the partners plan content, experiences and initiatives aimed at supporters, clients and commercial partners. Financial terms were not disclosed.The agreement has a strong venue-focused element that goes beyond traditional shirt inventory. Espanyol and ARCTEMPUS plan projects connected to the stadium, architecture, design, hospitality and culture during the first season of the partnership.That focus aligns closely with ARCTEMPUS’s core business. The company specialises in identifying, acquiring, transforming and activating real estate with development potential, creating a natural link between its commercial proposition and Espanyol’s stadium assets.Espanyol said the partnership brings together organisations with a shared long-term approach to growth and a belief that physical spaces can generate identity, experiences and lasting connections.The RCDE Stadium is central to that strategy, with the club positioning the venue not only as their sporting home but also as a meeting place for supporters and a platform for experiences beyond matchday.That gives ARCTEMPUS scope to use the sponsorship as a showcase for its expertise while giving Espanyol a partner whose business is directly connected to the development and commercial use of physical spaces.The agreement also provides Espanyol with a new lead commercial brand in one of their most prominent sponsorship positions, placing ARCTEMPUS on the club’s primary shirt inventory throughout the coming season.Espanyol and ARCTEMPUS will formally present the partnership at the RCDE Stadium on August 21, providing further detail around a deal designed to turn sponsorship visibility into projects embedded in the club’s home venue.
