AS Roma to Sign Etihad Sponsorship Deal
Etihad Airways could become the naming rights sponsor for the new Stadio della Roma as well as the new AS Roma kit sponsor, according to Corriere dello Sport.
AS Roma are still looking for a new AS Roma kit sponsor for the 2015-16 season and have been playing with blank-chested shirts since 2013-14. The new AS Roma stadium is planned to open in August 2016 ahead of the 16-17 season, although building has not yet started.
Etihad to Become New AS Roma Shirt and Stadium Sponsor
AS Roma is said to be expecting offers of about €14 million ($15.8m) for the AS Roma 15-16 shirt sponsorship and the Stadio della Roma naming rights, each. Reportedly, AS Roma could anyway settle for a lower amount for the shirt sponsorship in order to not remain sponsor-less for the 15-16 Serie A campaign.
Etihad Airways, who own a 49%-stake in Italian airline Alitalia, see the possible AS Roma sponsorship as a strategic investment to strengthen the Abu Dhabi-based airline's position in the Italian market, with Rome Fiumicino Airport already an important hub for it.
While Etihad Airways appear very interested in the naming rights for the new AS Roma stadium, they haven't decided yet wether to pursue the AS Roma shirt sponsorship as well, Corriere dello Sport reports.

Germany 2026 World Cup Kit Match Details Custom
Following Germany's massive 7-1 victory over Curaçao in the 2026 World Cup, football kit enthusiasts have found a unique use for the central design element of the team's home shirt. The Germany 2026 kit features a prominent white diamond pattern on the chest, which has sparked creative ideas online.
Inspired by a suggestion from Twitter user @ForbiddenShirts, kit enthusiast @KitNerdUK created a mock-up that places the historic match details directly inside the central white diamond. The edit neatly frames the scoreline and opponent, utilizing the otherwise empty space in the middle of the chest.
While the concept looks clean for this specific match, fans have pointed out that longer team names or additional match information might not fit as easily within the diamond shape. Nevertheless, it offers an interesting perspective on how match details could be integrated into the bold 2026 design.
