RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NASSR FC Football Club and HUMAIN, a PIF company delivering full-stack artificial intelligence capabilities globally, today announced that HUMAIN has been named the Club's Official Sponsor for the 2026–2027 season.

Bringing together jersey sponsorship, world-class sporting infrastructure, and advanced artificial intelligence capabilities, the expansive agreement reflects a shared commitment to exploring how technology can shape the future of football both on and off the pitch.

As one of football's most recognized clubs with one of the sport's fastest-growing international fanbases, NASSR FC provides a powerful platform for collaboration as HUMAIN continues expanding its international presence. Headquartered in Saudi Arabia, HUMAIN is building AI infrastructure, cloud platforms, models and applications for organizations around the world.

More than traditional sponsorship, the collaboration creates a platform for NASSR FC and HUMAIN to explore how artificial intelligence, data and technology can support the continued evolution of an elite football club.

For NASSR FC, the sponsorship reflects the Club's longstanding ambition to remain at the forefront of innovation, both on and off the pitch.

While HUMAIN will serve as the Club's leading jersey sponsor throughout the 2026–2027 season, the engagement extends well beyond the shirt. HUMAIN will also become the naming partner of NASSR FC's new state-of-the-art training center, built and developed by the Club and designed to be at the forefront of elite football infrastructure.

The sponsorship also creates opportunities to explore how technology will continue to shape the future of sport. It aligns with HUMAIN's broader vision for HUMAIN Sport, HUMAIN's dedicated sector focused on advancing the application of artificial intelligence across the global sporting ecosystem, spanning participation, athlete development and performance, club operations, fan engagement and sports technology innovation.

"At HUMAIN, we are building AI infrastructure, platforms and technologies that enable the next generation of innovation across industries. Partnering with NASSR FC creates an opportunity to engage one of the world's largest football communities while exploring how technology can enhance the experience for supporters and contribute to the continued evolution of sport. Together, we have an opportunity to create meaningful experiences for supporters while exploring what's possible at the intersection of sport and artificial intelligence."

"At NASSR FC, we are building one of the world's most progressive football clubs, and that requires sponsors who share our ambition," said José Semedo, CEO of NASSR FC. "We are excited to welcome HUMAIN as our main sponsor and connect its vision with millions of NASSR FC supporters around the world. This sponsorship reflects our commitment to leading Saudi football's next era of innovation. Together, we will bring this collaboration to life through experiences and initiatives that extend well beyond the game."
