Palmeiras unveil Leapmotor as new sponsor, see details | OneFootball

Palmeiras announced on Monday morning its new sponsor: Leapmotor, a Chinese manufacturer of electrified vehicles from the Stellantis group. The deal runs for two seasons.

The new sponsorship, which is valid through 2028, will bring R$ 30 million per season into Palmeiras’ coffers, according to reporting by Gazeta Esportiva. That includes R$ 20 million fixed, plus R$ 10 million in variables.

Leapmotor will appear on the back of the jerseys of the men’s and women’s professional teams, as well as the youth teams. The master sponsorship still remains open. On the main team, the master sponsor is Sportingbet, which cannot appear on the youth teams’ kits because it is a betting company.

“Palmeiras is always looking for partnerships that represent progress and a forward-looking vision. The arrival of Leapmotor, a brand aligned with new technologies and sustainable mobility, further strengthens the club’s position as a responsible institution that generates a positive impact for the football industry and society as a whole. We are very proud to unite our brand with a company that represents the future of the automotive industry,” said president Leila Pereira.

Palmeiras’ other partners are: Cimed (shoulder blade area), Sil Fios e Cabos Elétricos (sleeve), Uniasselvi (front of the shorts), D’Itália Panelas (back of the shorts), in addition to Puma, which is the club’s sportswear supplier.

The debut of the shirt with the new sponsor will take place this Wednesday, in the match between Junior Barranquilla-COL and Palmeiras, in Colombia, a clash that marks Palmeiras’ first game in the 2026 Copa Libertadores. Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estádio Olímpico Jaime Morón León, in Colombia.

Palmeiras still has other vacant spaces and is evaluating new partners.
