Palms Sports, an Abu Dhabi-headquartered sports management and training company, has acquired naming rights to the home stadium of Azerbaijan Premier League football club, Neftçi PFK.
The five-year contract agreed between the Baku-based club and Palms Sports, a subsidiary of International Holding Company (IHC), will run through to 2030.
Along with naming rights to Neftçi Arena and Neftçi Football Center, whose new monikers will be decided at a later stage, Palms Sports will also take on main shirt sponsor status for Neftçi PFK, commencing with the 2025-26 season.
A club statement read: “This sponsorship agreement will not only increase the financial sustainability of Neftçi PFK, but will also help the club gain greater international recognition. The long-term partnership model aims to lay a solid foundation for both the brand and our club.”
With a capacity of around 11,000, Neftçi Arena first opened in September 2012. The naming rights to the stadium had previously been held by domestic telecommunications company Bakcell.
