Deel and Arsenal agree multi-year global partnership

Deel, the leading global payroll and HR platform, today announced a multi-year partnership with Arsenal, becoming the club's Official HR Platform Partner.

The agreement marks Deel’s first major venture into world sport and reflects the company’s ambition to grow its global presence. Deel branding will appear across Emirates Stadium and Arsenal’s digital channels, including all home fixtures across the Premier League, Women’s Super League (WSL), FA Cup and League Cup.

Arsenal now joins the growing number of global organisations that use Deel to manage their team. Through the partnership, Arsenal will use Deel’s HR platform to streamline the management of its workforce and operations.

Alex Bouaziz, Co-Founder and CEO of Deel, said: "Arsenal is one of the most iconic clubs in world sport, followed by millions and competing at the highest level, which makes this partnership a natural fit with our own global ambition.

“We are proud to welcome Arsenal as a Deel customer, and support the club’s HR operations. This partnership is a milestone for us and places Deel at the heart of global football, connecting our platform with supporters and professionals in every corner of the world.”

Juliet Slot, Chief Commercial Officer at Arsenal, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Deel to our Arsenal family – a brilliant and innovative team who will bring so much to what we’re trying to achieve at our club. Their global platform matches the scale of our ambition and operations, and their investment will continue to power our growth. We’re looking forward to many successful seasons together.”

Deel now supports more than 37,000 businesses and 1.5 million workers worldwide. In October 2025, the company announced a Series E funding round valuing the business at $17.3bn.
