( CNN ) -- Spanish football giants Barcelona have confirmed they have signed a huge new shirt sponsorship deal with the non-profit Qatar Foundation -- the first time they have received money to display a logo on their jerseys in the club 's history . Revealing the news on their official website , the Primera Liga champions could be in line to receive up to 170 million euros ( $ 225m ) for the five-and-a-half year deal , which incorporates commercial and image rights as well as various bonuses relating to success on the field . Children 's charity UNICEF has appeared on the club 's shirts in recent seasons and their logo will continue to feature prominently . However , kit manufacturer Nike will now redesign the jerseys to accomodate the name of the Qatar Foundation -- an organization set up in 1995 to improve education and community development in Qatar and the surrounding region . Following the news , UNICEF released a statement , saying : `` The groundbreaking partnership between UNICEF and FC Barcelona advanced the global message on the importance of children 's issues in a unique way . `` UNICEF is looking forward to the next stage of the collaboration and is exploring various options . '' Barcelona also released a breakdown of how the funds will be received , with the club getting 15m euros ( $ 20m ) for the second half of the season and 30m euros ( $ 40m ) for each of the following five seasons -- with up to 5m euros ( $ 7m ) in bonuses for any titles won . The funds will provide a welcome boost for Barcelona , who have struggled financially , despite all their successes on the pitch . The Catalan club made a loss of 80m euros ( $ 105m ) last season and are reported to have debts in the region of 440m euros . The announcement also continues Qatar 's increasing influence in world football following their recent winning bid to host the 2022 World Cup finals .
