BARCELONA, Spain and COLUMBIA, Md., June 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- RCD Espanyol has reached an agreement with Stage Front, a company based in Columbia, Maryland, United States, for the stadium to have a Title Partner and to be renamed Stage Front Stadium.
The American company, a partner of LaLiga North America, is an outstanding leader in the ticketing technology industry, holding partnerships with Front Row Motorsports, promoter Matchroom Boxing and ONE Championship. Stage Front will contribute all its knowledge to improve the ticketing service, as well as the Stadium's VIP experience, both on matchday and for the rest of the events that take place in the facility.
The agreement, which was presented today at an event at the Stage Front Stadium, goes beyond football and includes a strategic collaboration for Stage Front to energise and make the stadium facilities profitable, positioning it as a reference ground for shows and events on a global scale. At the same time, Stage Front will provide the Stadium with the latest technology that will allow it to face this new stage.
RCD Espanyol, for its part, will activate as many of its own spaces as possible to give visibility and promote the different options offered by Stage Front.
RCD Espanyol de Barcelona and Stage Front have publicly expressed their satisfaction with this agreement and are fully convinced that it will bring many benefits to both brands, as well as to their commercial development.

It is also relevant that this is happening at the moment when the stadiums are being selected for the 2030 World Cup bid."
