Sprouts Farmers Market Extends Back-of-Jersey Sponsorship
Angel City Football Club today announced the renewal of its partnership with Sprouts Farmers Market for another three years. This extension marks a continued collaboration in supporting women’s professional soccer and promoting community health and wellness.
Sprouts Farmers Market, known for its focus on healthy living and fresh, natural foods, will maintain its exclusive presence on the lower back of ACFC’s official jerseys. This includes all home, away, authentic, replica, and special edition first-team jerseys available to fans.
“Continuing our partnership with Angel City Football Club is a testament to our shared goals of fostering health and wellness in the communities we serve,” said Alisa Gmelich, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of Sprouts. “We are dedicated to supporting women’s athletics and empowering our communities to eat nutritious food by making healthy choices every day throughout Los Angeles and beyond.”
The Angel City Sponsorship Model remains a cornerstone of this partnership, with both Sprouts and ACFC dedicating 10% of the sponsorship’s value to the Garden School Foundation, which is an organization focused on children’s nutrition education and fresh food access in Los Angeles. This collaboration has already seen significant contributions to community projects, including over 2,500 hours of collective volunteering to enhance educational garden spaces, over 15,000 collective hours of nutrition education, and over 86,000 pounds of fresh produce to support food assistance programs at schools in LA.
The partnership will continue its community engagement efforts with a project to revitalize another local school garden, further demonstrating the commitment to nutrition education and sustainable food practices.
“We are excited to renew our partnership with Sprouts as our back-of-jersey sponsor,” said Julie Uhrman, Co-Founder and President of Angel City FC. “Their ongoing support enables us to leverage their expertise in health and wellness, benefiting our players, coaches, and fans. Together, we look forward to continuing our lasting impact on our community and the sport.”
