Newcastle United have partnered up with Saudi Arabia’s national carrier SAUDIA ahead of their mid-season trip to Riyadh. Newcastle take on Saudi Pro League champions Al-Hilal on December 8. Eddie Howe, his staff and players, excluding those involved in the Qatar World Cup, will fly to the Middle East on a SAudia chartered flight. SAudi was the heroes sponsor for Newcastle's 1-0 victory over Chelsea at St James” Park on Saturday.
Newcastle United have a new Saudi Arabian sponsor. Fun 88 is no longer a sponsor of the club. The absence of Fun88's logo is due to gambling advertising laws in Saudi Arabia. There are no state-licensed casinos, bookmakers or poker rooms in the Kingdom. The partnership between SAUDIA and Newcastle will have big news across the country.
