Angel City Football Club (ACFC) has renewed its sponsorship of Sprouts Farmers Market for the following three months. The great seven- find deal runs through the 2027 NWSL time, a source close to the club, who was granted anonymity because the details are personal, told Sportico.
Sprouts Farmers Market’s logo will continue to be positioned on the lower back of ACFC’s standard jerseys, including on all home, aside, true, replica and exclusive edition initial- team jerseys available for purchase.
Through Angel City’s funding design, 10 % of the value of any offer is directed to local reasons, done in collaboration with each partner. With this offer, Sprouts and ACFC may offer 10 % of the sponsorship’s significance to the Garden School Foundation, a non- profit organization that promotes children’s protein knowledge and facilitates access to fresh foods in Los Angeles.
Through this Sprouts cooperation, ACFC has significantly contributed to society projects, including more than 86, 000 weight of new make to help food assistance programs at LA schools.
” Seeds Farmers Market has understood the remarkable face in sponsoring a children’s group from our first meeting”, Julie Uhrman, inc- founder and president of Angel City FC, said in an email. ” Sprouts has put its 10 percent give back to work in our community through our impactful garden restoration and food distribution programs,” Sprouts said.” This shows how values-aligned we are.
Sprouts was the club’s first partner headquartered outside of California. The Phoenix-based company operates more than 70 locations in addition to those in Los Angeles. Founded in 2002, Sprouts operates more than 380 stores nationwide.
Natalie Portman, an actress and activist who won three Academy Awards, Kara Nortman, a technology venture capitalist, and Uhrman, a media and gaming entrepreneur, founded ACFC. Reddit co- founder and investor Alexis Ohanian is the team’s largest shareholder. Additionally, the ownership group includes former USWNT stars Julie Foudy and Mia Hamm, as well as Serena Williams, Billie Jean King, and dozens of smaller investors. According to Sportico’s latest valuations, the franchise is worth$ 180 million, the highest in the league.
Last month, Sportico reported that the club’s board has hired Moelis &, Company to explore a control sale of the franchise. If sold, it could set the league record for the largest valuation in a major transaction.
