Equiti has renewed and expanded its sponsorship of Abu Dhabi football club Al Wahda FC for the 2026/27 season. The deal moves Equiti's branding from the club's sleeve to the front of its home, away and goalkeeper shirts, alongside Abu Dhabi developer Lead Development.

Equiti first partnered with Al Wahda in 2024 as a sleeve sponsor. In 2025, it also became the naming partner of Dubai's Youth Football League.
