Chairman & owner Fawaz Al-Hasawi has been in Kuwait having talks with the Kuwait government, with Nottingham Forest's new shirt sponsor and stadium sponsor set to be the Kuwaiti government.

The renaming of the stadium to "The KCG Stadium" short for "The Kuwait City Ground Stadium", is set to bag Forest hundreds of millions in a sponsorship deal larger than Real Madrid's, Barcelona's and many other clubs.

It will be the largest stadium sponsorship deal of all time.

Comparing it to other deals, Fly Emirates paid Arsenal £150m for a five year deal for naming rights of their stadium and in the same division, Derby County had a 10-year deal of around £7m. Forest's meanwhile bags in a huge £500m over 10 years with backing from the Kuwait government.

A huge half a billion (£500m) sponsorship deal spread over 10 years is set to be announced in the next ten days.
