Emirates Returns to Portsmouth with 2-Day SailGP Racing and Fan Experiences
Emirates brings SailGP racing back to England’s south coast with the Emirates Great Britain Sail Grand Prix Portsmouth on 19-20 July. As Title Partner of the event and Global Partner of SailGP, Emirates will offer a range of experiences and competitions for fans attending the two-day tournament.
Onsite, Emirates will provide ‘fly better’ activations including VIP hospitality, exclusive tours of the Emirates Great Britain SailGP Tech base, and competitions like ‘Spin to Win’, where fans can win prizes such as seat cushions or a holiday for two to Dubai. Emirates’ cabin crew will be present for photo opportunities, handing out branded Polaroid keepsakes. Official merchandise will be available at the Emirates Store.
Emirates’ branding will feature prominently across the racecourse, the event stadium, the trophy presentation, and on all competing F50 catamarans. Passengers onboard Emirates flights can catch the action live via Sport 24 and Sport 24 Extra, and through the ‘Racing on the Edge’ docuseries available on the in-flight entertainment system, ice.
Earlier this month, Emirates GBR team members visited the Emirates World Travel Store in London’s South Kensington, where they experienced the airline’s premium offerings, including the A380 Onboard Lounge and Premium Economy seats.
Emirates has supported sailing since 2004 and continues to engage with the sport globally. The Emirates GBR SailGP Team will compete in the remaining 2024/2025 races across Europe and the Middle East. In the UK, Emirates also sponsors Arsenal FC, the Emirates FA Cup, the Lancashire Cricket Club, the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025, and Wimbledon, among others.
The airline operates 133 weekly flights to the UK, connecting passengers to more than 140 destinations worldwide.
