Real Madrid inks long-term deal with ELITE Solar

132 million — that's how much Real Madrid earned in sponsorship revenue last year, and with a new deal in place, that number is set to climb. The Spanish giants announced a partnership with ELITE Solar that will last through 2029, marking a significant expansion of the club's commercial arm.

The essentials
  • ELITE Solar becomes Real Madrid's official solar panel supplier and an official sponsor of the club.
  • The deal is described as more than a sponsorship, with joint initiatives on sustainability and innovation planned.

The collaboration with ELITE Solar follows the announcement of Real Madrid's financial results for the 2025-26 fiscal year, which once again showed record-breaking revenue. This new deal strengthens the club’s commercial base, which already includes a broad network of international partners.

Real Madrid and ELITE Solar will not just work on marketing initiatives. Their partnership is intended to promote renewable energy and sustainability through projects engaging fans and communities worldwide. The companies will collaborate on innovation and responsible growth, aligning with Real Madrid's broader corporate strategy.

Emilio Butragueño, Director of Institutional Relations at Real Madrid, emphasized the values that attracted the club to ELITE Solar. Alex Chen, CEO of ELITE Solar, called the partnership a long-term strategic alliance, going beyond a traditional sponsorship to reflect a shared vision of excellence and sustainability.

“This alliance represents much more than a sponsorship; it reflects our shared pursuit of excellence, global impact, and long-term value creation.”
What's next

With the deal now signed, Real Madrid and ELITE Solar are expected to launch joint projects before the start of the 2026-27 season.
