Real Madrid and Corpay Announce Strategic Sponsorship Agreement for FX Risk Management
June 2, 2025 – Madrid, Spain – Real Madrid CF has signed a multi-year sponsorship agreement with Corpay Cross-Border, a global leader in corporate payment solutions. The deal, which will run through the 2027 season, names Corpay as an official sponsor of the club and gives Real Madrid access to advanced international payment services and foreign exchange (FX) risk management tools.
The partnership was formalized at Real Madrid City in the club’s boardroom, with key representatives in attendance, including Emilio Butragueño, Real Madrid’s Director of Institutional Relations, and Pablo de la Vega and Roberto del Diego Monedero, co-directors of Corpay’s Spanish division.
Helping Real Madrid Navigate Global Financial Operations
Through this partnership, Real Madrid will leverage Corpay Cross-Border’s specialized FX services to minimize exposure to currency volatility in its day-to-day international transactions. As a club with a vast global footprint—including player transfers, global sponsorships, merchandising, and international operations—efficient currency management is vital for operational stability.
Brad Loder, Marketing Director at Corpay Cross-Border Solutions, expressed his excitement about the collaboration:
“We are proud to partner with Real Madrid, one of the most successful and influential football clubs in the world. This sponsorship not only supports our strategy to expand Corpay’s global brand presence but also showcases our commitment to providing smart, scalable foreign exchange solutions to organizations with international operations.”
Financial Innovation Meets Football Legacy
This collaboration aligns with Real Madrid’s strategic focus on strengthening its commercial partnerships in sectors that drive performance and sustainability. By integrating financial technology into the club’s operational ecosystem, the deal underscores Real Madrid’s commitment to innovation beyond the pitch.
For Corpay, the partnership is a high-profile move to further embed its brand in international markets, particularly within sports, where exposure to global audiences enhances brand recognition and trust.
Looking Ahead: Building a Stronger Financial Foundation
The partnership is expected to generate mutual value through brand activations, hospitality engagements, and thought leadership in global finance. As Real Madrid continues to operate as a benchmark in world football, having a reliable partner in cross-border payment efficiency and currency risk protection is a critical advantage.
With increasing financial complexity in the sports industry, this partnership positions both Real Madrid and Corpay at the forefront of digital financial transformation in global sport.
