The north London club&#8217;s long-term partnership with AIA began in 2013, in a deal that is currently reportedly worth \u00a340million a season, and has now been extended until 2032 but with that major scaled down change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">AIA will remain as the club\u2019s Global Principal Partner and front-of-shirt sponsor until the end of this coming campaign but then the company will switch to becoming the Global Training Partner from July 2027 through to June 2032.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The north London club will be looking to tie up a new lucrative front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2027\/28 season but it comes amid a new report from <a aria-label=\"\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thesponsor.com\/revealed-premier-league-fair-market-sponsorship-values-2026\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_self\">The Sponsor<\/a>, with their fifth annual Premier League Fair Market Value Index of all 20 Premier League clubs&#8217; front-of-shirt and sleeve sponsorship assets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The outlet claims that as their figures are grounded in commercial market evidence, the index provides brands, rights holders and agencies with an independent assessment of sponsorship value.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The news is not good for Tottenham as the index suggests that their front of shirt sponsorship value has fallen from \u00a349.1million last season to \u00a329.8million &#8211; a 40 per cent drop &#8211; after yet another 17th-place finish but without the counterbalance of winning the Europa League and the subsequent Champions League qualification.

That fall in value is predominantly driven by on-pitch performance, the loss of star players Harry Kane and Son Heung-min and lack of sponsor exposure through European competitions,&#8221; concluded The Sponsor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;Despite this, Tottenham remains one of the most valuable sponsorship opportunities in English football.
