Arsenal FC have announced American brand Gatorade as its Official Sports Drink and Sports Nutrition partner in a new three-year global partnership.

The deal will see the Gunners’ first-team, Under-21 and Under-18 teams use Gatorade before, during and after all training sessions and matches.

As part of the deal, Arsenal and Gatorade’s sports science teams will collaborate on developing specific nutrition plans for players to optimise performance when training and competing.
