It features four senior first-team players: Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Martin \u00d8degaard, and Viktor Gy\u00f6keres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Arsenal Crest sits prominently above glistening gold &#8216;Champions&#8217; lettering, honouring the contribution of the entire squad to the title-winning campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The artwork was applied entirely by the Emirates Engineering team, reflecting the airline&#8217;s investment in detailed visual storytelling across its widebody fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livery joins a long list of bespoke aircraft designs used by the carrier to mark major sporting milestones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-two-decades-of-an-iconic-partnership\">Two Decades of an Iconic Partnership<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The year 2026 marks a major milestone for both organisations, as they celebrate 20 years of partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emirates serves as the Official Airline Partner of Arsenal and holds the naming rights to the club&#8217;s home ground, Emirates Stadium in North London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fly Better logo features on the front of the Men&#8217;s, Women&#8217;s, and Academy team shirts.
