The new agreement will debut during the matches played today (29 October), where Mapfre branding will be present.
In September, the RFEF hired former Real Madrid executive Ramón Plaza Bautista to head up its commercial operations.
As the federation's commercial director, he leads the governing body’s new commercial and business development department.
The RFEF has undergone a period of significant change within its senior leadership team over the past year.
