Girona FC Secures Marlex Renewal for Ambitious Return

Girona FC have secured a key piece of their off-pitch project, renewing their partnership with Marlex through the 2026/27 season in a deal that underlines both local pride and long-term ambition.

The agreement keeps Marlex, a Human Resources heavyweight founded in 1996, firmly on the back of the first team’s shirt and embedded in the club’s youth structure. The visibility is no small detail: it signals that one of the region’s leading companies is not just lending its name, but tying its brand to Girona’s sporting and institutional push.

For Girona, this is about more than logo placement. It is about stability, identity, and a shared roadmap.

Club President's Statement

Club president Delfí Geli did not hide the significance of the extension. “We are very pleased that Marlex continues to stand by us for another season. Their confidence in the project demonstrates the strength of the relationship we have built over the years and allows us to keep moving forward with the support of companies that share our values and our way of understanding the Club's growth," he said.

That word — values — runs through the partnership. Attitude, commitment, teamwork: both sides lean on the same vocabulary. For a club trying to build sustainably, those are not marketing slogans, they are recruitment tools, cultural anchors, and a selling point to players, staff, and fans.

Marlex's Perspective

On the Marlex side, the renewal carries a strong sense of place. CEO Àlex Sanabras framed the decision as a natural step for a company born in the city and now spread across the peninsula with more than 80 offices.

"As a company from Girona, continuing alongside Girona FC is a testament to our commitment to the Club and the city that has seen us born and grow. We are starting a new season where it will be necessary to stay united to make the Club's return to the first division possible. Now more than ever, orgull gironí," he said.

That line cuts to the heart of it. Girona’s aim is clear: return to the top tier and stay there. To do that, they need more than a good coach and a clever transfer window. They need a network of aligned partners prepared to ride the highs and endure the setbacks.

Marlex, with three decades of experience in managing people and building teams, fits neatly into that vision. Its continued backing reinforces the idea that Girona FC’s project is not a short-term gamble but a structured, long-haul effort rooted in its own territory.

The badge, the city, the sponsor, the stands — all pulling in the same direction. The next question is whether that unity will be enough to carry Girona back into the first division, where this kind of project truly gets put to the test.
