Egypt’s Banque du Caire signed a partnership agreement with Arsenal FC that will last for three years. Under the new agreement, Banque du Caire will become the official partner of Arsenal in Egypt.

The partnership comes in line with the growing popularity of the English Premier League, specifically Arsenal, among football fans in Egypt.

Hazem Hegazy, deputy chairperson of Banque du Caire, said the partnership deal will contribute to boosting the bank’s position in Egypt and will have a positive impact on the bank’s customers, especially, those who support Arsenal.

Hegazy added that Banque du Caire aims to sign more successful partnerships with important international institutions in various fields in the coming period, to strengthen the bank’s position inside and outside Egypt.

Arsenal’s chief commercial officer, Vinai Venkatesham, said the English club is very popular in Egypt with over 2.5 million followers on Facebook.

He added that the club looks forward to making the most of its partnership with Banque du Caire in favour of all Arsenal and football fans in Egypt.
