Real Sociedad has entered into a new partnership with NordVPN, naming the cybersecurity provider as the club’s Official Cybersecurity Partner for the 2025/2026 season. The agreement also includes NordVPN’s travel-focused eSIM solution Saily, and an extended role in supporting Real Sociedad’s eSports division.
