Team Bonding at the APEX

Sacramento, Calif – Republic FC, The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, and Red Hawk Casino have announced a new partnership connecting the Indomitable Club’s match day excitement with the region’s leading casino. Red Hawk Casino will now become Republic FC’s exclusive casino partner and will be prominently featured on match days within the stadium, as well as within the club’s match broadcasts. Sharing similar core values, the partnership is deeply rooted in community investment with all three organizations working to promote health and wellness opportunities for Red Hawk employees, tribal community members, and the surrounding communities.
“Red Hawk Casino and the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians are proud to be the official casino partner of Sacramento Republic FC,” said Red Hawk Casino President and CEO Bryan deLugo. “We’re excited to partner with a first-class soccer club, and to bring our first-class casino experiences to Sacramento Republic FC fans.”
“Red Hawk Casino and the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians are tremendous community champions and entertainment leaders,” said Republic FC President and General Manager Todd Dunivant. “Not only will their leading hospitality and entertainment expertise add to our matchday experience, we’re excited about the opportunities ahead to prioritize community health and wellbeing, as well as support regional economic growth.”
Republic FC fans and VIP guests will be introduced to Red Hawk Casino’s award-winning entertainment on gamedays. Fans watching match broadcasts will enjoy spectacular angles of goal replays presented by Red Hawk Casino, while in-stadium VIP guests will be able to experience the exclusive and enhanced Red Hawk Casino Premier Club. Throughout the year, the club’s members and fans will receive special offers and opportunities from Red Hawk Casino.
Beyond gamedays, the partnership will extend the rich tradition of community investment. Building upon the fundraisers for communities in El Dorado County and the surrounding region, the partnership will focus on promoting health and wellness, as well as developing educational opportunities for youth tribal members. Republic FC will program special soccer clinics on tribal lands to promote activity and fitness through soccer. By leveraging work with its leading healthcare partners, the club will look to develop year-round wellness opportunities for Red Hawk Casino employees and tribal community members.
Later this year, Red Hawk Casino will open a new 150-room and amusement center, providing more unique entertainment options for the region, as well as a direct investment into the tribal and local economies. The family-friendly resort only 20 minutes from Sacramento will include the only multi-level, indoor electric go-kart track in California, an 18-lane bowling alley, virtual reality gaming rooms, arcade and golf simulation bays – as well as a new sports bar with a 28-foot TV featuring premier games.
As Republic FC continues to progress on the club’s plans to develop a new downtown stadium in The Railyards, Red Hawk Casino and the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians will explore opportunities to work with the club to support the growth and benefit of the region. Sacramento, including The Railyards, is known to be the ancestral land of the Valley and Plains Miwok, as well as the Nisenan, Southern Maidu and Patwin Wintun peoples.
The Red Hawk Casino Premier Club will be full of excitement this weekend when Republic FC returns to Heart Health Park on Saturday. For the first time since 2019, the Indomitable Club will host fans during the California State Fair. All match ticket holders are encouraged to arrive early and are invited to explore the fairgrounds for free all day before the match. Saturday’s match marks the first trip to Sacramento for Birmingham Legion FC, with kickoff set for 8:00 p.m. Tickets are still available at SacRepublicFC.com/single-match-tickets.
The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, a federally recognized Indian tribe, will protect and enhance the quality of life of its members by preserving, protecting and promoting its history, culture and traditions; promoting self-sufficiency and a strong work ethic; exercising the powers of self-government and sovereign immunity; while providing social, health, economic and educational resources, opportunities and services that contribute to the well-being of the tribal community.
As stewards of the land, it was the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians’ vision that Red Hawk Casino be created to honor the past and celebrate the future. The casino’s architecture is in harmony with tradition, nature and our surroundings. The Red Hawk Casino delivers significant economic benefits to the local community of El Dorado County.
