Angel City FC News Release


LOS ANGELES - Angel City Football Club (ACFC) today announced Sprouts Farmers Market, a healthy grocer and one of the fastest-growing retailers in the country, as the team's founding back-of-jersey sponsor, marking their first commitment to women's professional soccer.

As the team's exclusive back-of-jersey sponsor, the Sprouts logo will emblazon the lower back of ACFC's official jerseys and merchandise, including all home, away, authentic, replica, and special edition first-team jerseys available to consumers. The team colors, crest, jersey, and logoed merchandise will be revealed in Summer 2021.

In addition to the logo, Sprouts and ACFC agreed on an empowering phrase that will proudly display above the player's name on the top back of the jersey. The phrase represents the spirit of ACFC and highlights the shared commitment to igniting higher expectations on and off the field.

"Sprouts is the place where goodness grows, offering delicious foods that nourish families and athletes. We are excited to work with Angel City to build and support projects that will lead to health benefits in the communities that we are privileged to serve," said Jack Sinclair, Sprouts Chief Executive Officer. "Together, we will create greater access to healthy foods across Los Angeles and beyond, inspiring people to have a deeper understanding of the role that healthy eating plays in their lives," said Sinclair.

Through the Angel City Sponsorship Model, Sprouts and ACFC will collaborate to re-allocate a portion of the value of their sponsorship to local causes that address and provide children's nutrition education and fresh food access throughout Los Angeles. Last year, Sprouts and the Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation expanded their support of causes offering emergency food assistance and resources addressing the challenges of teaching students virtually.

On March 20, ACFC and Sprouts will partner for their first community-based project, where they will revitalize a school garden site at Arroyo Seco Museum Science Magnet with EnrichLA. The project will include relocating six existing garden beds, installing new drip irrigation, building picnic tables, and creating an outdoor learning space for students.

"Organic school vegetable gardens are a great way to help our young ones start to think about healthy eating," explained Tomas O'Grady, executive director of EnrichLA. "As a school garden ranger, I have seen students get excited to eat vegetables just because they helped grow them at their school. Through our programs here in LA, kids are learning where their food comes from, how it nourishes their bodies, and how to be caretakers of our planet!"

"We are proud to welcome Sprouts to the ACFC family as our back-of-jersey sponsor and are excited to work alongside them to leverage their knowledge of health and wellness for our players, coaches and, of course, our fans," said Julie Uhrman, Co-Founder and President of Angel City FC. "Sprouts prioritizes healthy living and, as we are building our team with a focus on the whole athlete's health and wellness and believe they are the perfect fit for Angel City. We can't wait to get started!"
