Real Madrid and Audi, which had been partners since 2003, failed to agree terms on a renewal at the end of last year.

The brand is reportedly scaling back its soccer sponsorships to focus on its agreement with German giants Bayern Munich, of which it owns 8%.

Under the agreement with BMW, the manufacturer will provide the Real Madrid men's and women's soccer and basketball first teams, as well as their coaching staff, with electric vehicles.

The two parties will also collaborate on initiatives in the domains of future mobility, sustainability, and diversity, as well as establishing a collaboration center for sustainability.
