After becoming an official partner of Major League Soccer (MLS) during the 2019 season, Captain Morgan is taking the pitch in 2020 with a lineup bolstered by new club partners Inter Miami CF, Los Angeles FC, Minnesota United and Nashville Soccer Club. These four new and exciting clubs join existing partners D.C. United, New York City FC, Philadelphia Union and Seattle Sounders FC. With these eight partners representing six playoff clubs from last season – including the 2019 MLS Cup champion – and two clubs making their MLS debut in 2020, there’s clearly more fun to be had with Captain Morgan this season.

Captain Morgan will have a presence at Inter Miami CF Stadium, Banc of California Stadium, Allianz Field and Nissan Stadium all season. Additionally, matches presented by Captain Morgan with fun events for attendees over 21 will take place with Minnesota United on April 4^th, Los Angeles FC on September 20^th and Nashville SC on September 26^th and Inter Miami CF at a date to be announced. Limited edition Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum bottles featuring each of the new club partners’ colors and crests will be available for purchase later this season – joining the limited-edition bottles of the four existing club partners.

“As we get ready to kick off our first full season with Major League Soccer, we can’t believe how fortunate we are to have a group of partner clubs like this,” said Christina Choi, DIAGEO Senior Vice President, Rum, Gin & Tequila. “Getting to know all of these passionate supporters across the country in 2019 was incredible, but we know we’ve only just started to scratch the surface in terms of what we can do together. We’re going to reach a whole new level of fun and fan engagement during the 2020 season.”

In its first year as the official spiced rum of MLS, Captain Morgan made it clear that it was here for the fans and had one goal in mind: more fun for fans. In addition to on-the-ground activations, social and TV content, the spiced rum brand gave out free tickets to fellow ‘Morgans’ over the age of 21 to matches like the 2019 All-Star Game and 2019 MLS Cup just for being named Morgan.

Earlier this week USWNT co-captain Alex Morgan together with POWERADE and the U.S. Soccer Foundation, unveiled a new soccer field in Gardena, CA to give the next generation of footballers more access to the sport.

The soccer field comes after POWERADE, the official sports drink of the U.S. Women’s National Team announced its partnership with the U.S. Soccer Foundation, committing to building three mini-pitches in key markets throughout the U.S. Each will be located in the home markets and named after the brand’s Power Players – Alex Morgan (L.A.), Kelley O’Hara (Atlanta) and Crystal Dunn (New York).

Each field was designed to transform underutilized spaces into state-of-the-art soccer fields – providing teen players with nearly 2,000+ extra hours of playing time in safe spaces.

Today, the NFL announced the seventh #NFL100 Experiences of a Lifetime contest— “Turkey Bowl” – where one lucky fan and ten of their friends/family will have the chance to host the Turkey Bowl game of their dreams in one of the most iconic and historic stadiums in the NFL—Lambeau Field. The winner and their Turkey Bowl squad will also have a chance to meet Hall of Famer and Packers legend Brett Favre. Start practicing your Lambeau Leap!

The centennial season pays tribute to the generations of fans, players and communities that built the league with a series of #NFL100 experiences throughout the year. The contest is live through October 22 (11:59 p.m. ET) – we’d love your help getting the word out for this exciting NFL100 experience that celebrates football and Thanksgiving traditions.

As the official beer of the U.S. Women’s National Team Budweiser is making a pledge to continue supporting women’s soccer – not just every four years, but on a year-round basis.

Women’s soccer is never bigger than during the World Cup, with sponsors clamoring to support the stars of the game. But when these women get home, they play for half-empty stadiums and hardly any sponsors. Budweiser wants to change that. That’s why this year, the end of the World Cup marks a new beginning – Budweiser is proud to become the first-ever beer sponsor of National Women’s Soccer League.

Budweiser’s multi-year partnership with the NWSL is designed to support the players, the fans and the sport. The deal makes Budweiser one of the biggest sponsors of the NWSL, with naming rights to the playoffs, the championship, the MVP trophy, and a newly created “Most Valuable Supporter” award for the league’s biggest fan. Budweiser will activate the sponsorship locally, with support of the teams and stadiums. And Budweiser’s commitment won’t stop at the end of the NWSL season. An innovative off-season program will give NWSL players immersive training in the business side of sports from Budweiser executives.

In celebration of the partnership, Budweiser released an anthem video titled – “We Won’t Stop Watching” – that aims to inspire fans and brands to support the sport when the stars come home. The film features soccer legend, Brandi Chastain speaking over real scenes of U.S. Women’s National Team stars competing in empty American stadiums. Debuting moments before the World Cup Final yesterday, the film asks a provocative question: “The world will watch them play today. Who will watch them play tomorrow?” Chastain’s voiceover goes on to celebrate the stars and supporters of women’s soccer while announcing that Budweiser won’t stop supporting the sport when the World Cup ends.

Today, Budweiser is unveiling a tribute film, “This Bud’s for 3,” honoring Dwyane Wade’s upcoming retirement, celebrating not only his incredible athletic achievements but most importantly his impact and legacy off the court.

The film takes Dwyane’s season-long jersey swap ritual to the next level as he comes face-to-face with some of the fans he’s impacted the most throughout his career – each ready with their own “jersey” to swap with him.

“Throughout the year, I’ve had the opportunity to reflect on my basketball career and thank so many teammates, coaches and mentors who have impacted me on the court. Thanks to Budweiser for reminding me that my connection to people is bigger than basketball. While my basketball career is coming to a close in the coming days, my relationship with my fans will only continue to grow.” said Dwyane Wade
