The long-term sponsorship sees the Middle East firm become a global partner of Chelsea.

They will also see their logo splashed across the front of the team's shirts for the few remaining games of the season - having been blank since the start of the campaign.

But now Damac have confirmed they have designed the first-ever branded residence in collaboration with the Premier League club.

The Chelsea Residences is set to be erected in Dubai's Maritime City and "merges luxury lifestyle with world-class sporting heritage".

Architects Gensler have designed the stunning £1million flats with a range of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments all featuring floor-to-ceiling glass and boasting superb sea views.

Damac say: "This landmark development features over 1,400 sea-facing units and a lifestyle that rivals match-day energy.

"Expect bold design, breathtaking views, and amenities inspired by the spirit of champions.

"The interiors exude modern sophistication with high-end finishes, state-of-the-art materials, and subtle Chelsea branding throughout.

"Residents will enjoy a rooftop football pitch, grand lion statues, and exclusive waterfront experiences such as an infinity sand pool, aqua gym, and a starlit spa.

"This is just the first half."

There will even be a 'Chelsea football simulation room', 'Chelsea Lion beach' and the Blues badge on the rooftop pitch - making it the perfect home for any Blues fans based in the UAE.

Jason Gannon, President and COO of Chelsea Football Club, said, “Damac are world renowned in building luxury properties, and we are thrilled to be working with the industry leader to bring to market a first of its kind branded Chelsea FC residence in Dubai.

“With the club located in the heart of London, the collaboration will bring SW6 to life in Dubai, supporting our continued growth on the global stage.

"We can’t wait to see Chelsea Residences take its place in the Dubai skyline.”

The complex will be just 20 minutes from Dubai International Airport.

But they will not come cheap.

Prices start from £430,000 for a one-bedroom apartment.

But the most expensive homes will set buyers back a whopping £1m.

It is not the first time Damac have collaborated with big brands - with their other projects including a Roberto Cavalli Tower and Paramount Hotel in Dubai - plus the Versace Tower in Nine Elms, London.
