The Aporia · Liverpool announce five-year shirt sponsorship deal with Turkish Airlines

Liverpool has agreed to a five-year deal with Turkish Airlines, starting June 1, 2027, which will be worth over 300 million pounds. The deal makes it one of the most lucrative in the Premier League and marks an end to Standard Chartered's 17-year sponsorship run. Liverpool's chief commercial officer, Ben Latty, sees potential for a strong relationship with Turkish Airlines due to their global recognition and existing connections. This is not a straight sponsorship, as Standard Chartered will remain affiliated with Liverpool as a Global Partner.
