US Soccer has entered into a groundbreaking partnership with Bank of America, announced Tuesday, which promises to significantly enhance the growth of soccer at all levels across the United States. The deal, spanning multiple years, represents one of the largest financial commitments ever made to the federation, according to officials.

The partnership aligns Bank of America, an official FIFA partner for the 2025 Club World Cup and the 2026 World Cup, with US Soccer’s mission to elevate the sport nationwide. David Wright, US Soccer’s Chief Commercial Officer, described the collaboration as a transformative step forward, stating, “This historic partnership marks one of the largest long-term investments in US Soccer’s history and will elevate the game to new heights.”
