Dubai shakes hands with one of Spain's most famous football clubs less than a day after the country is tipped to host the 2030 World Cup.

Dubai's tourism corporation has just signed a long-term collaboration with Spanish football club Real Madrid. The entrepreneurial emirate linked with the team the day after it was announced that Spain will be one of the joint-hosts for the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

The release from Dubai's Media Office doesn't provide many details into the deal, stating it will bring: "activations, special fan moments and unique experiences for Dubai and Real Madrid fans." It does, however, mention the intention to bring "a taste of Dubai to Santiago Bernabéu."
