Sacramento, Calif. – Sacramento Republic FC and Raley’s have announced an expansion of their partnership. Beginning this Monday, July 13, Raley’s will be featured on the right sleeve of the Indomitable Club’s official on-field kits, pre-match warm-up top, and the Republic Youth Academy jersey sleeve. Republic FC will cap off the USL Championship’s return to play weekend with a match against Tacoma Defiance on ESPN Deportes, and locally broadcast on KQCA My58. The additional two-year commitment to the club’s partnership – initially formed in 2014 – will be the eighth kit sleeve sponsorship in United Soccer League’s top flight, and only the 14th agreement in place of the 61 teams in the two top tiers of American soccer.
“With Raley’s deep commitment to Sacramento’s families and neighborhoods, Raley’s is a natural addition to the kits designed to represent the indomitable spirit of the region, on and off the field,” said Republic FC President and Chief Operating Officer Ben Gumpert. “I remember fondly my trips to Raley’s in my neighborhood growing up in Sacramento. And now, I’m looking forward to continuing to work with the thousands of Raley’s team members who create a profound impact in our community year-round.”
“Raley’s is proud of our long-standing partnership with Republic FC. Both organizations are dedicated to the pursuit of excellence and together strive to make the greater Sacramento community more united and vibrant,” said Keith Knopf, Raley’s President & CEO. “We wish the club and all the fans a great season.”
