SANDY, Utah - Utah Royals FC today announced a groundbreaking partnership as it welcomes Soleil Energy as the club's newest jersey-front sponsor for the 2020 National Women's Soccer League season. Soleil Energy will be inscribed on the URFC home and away jerseys through the 2022 season.

The new blue URFC 2020 home kit features the iconic Utah landscape with mountains highlighting the unique jersey front in the club's signature gold color with Soleil Energy emblazoned on the front underneath the club crest.

The kits are provided by NWSL equipment supplier Nike, with jersey tops available at the Rio Tinto Stadium and downtown team stores starting June 17 and online at UtahRoyalsFC.com starting June 17.

"The Utah Royals FC partnership with Soleil Energy, align with a partner that shares in our vision of advancing green initiatives and aspiring to build the world's best equitable professional sports organization," Utah Royals FC Owner Dell Loy Hansen said. "With their valued support and collaboration, we will continue to progress towards those goals while continuing the growth of women's soccer for fans throughout the region. Soleil Energy is the world's best Virtual Power Plant technology contractor and operator. Partnering with Sonnen, by far the most advanced battery manufacturer, the team is looking to lead the US and then the world to a reliable 24-hour stored energy future generated from the sun."

Born from innovation and the need to create a positive and sustainable impact within the communities where we live, Soleil Energy created the blueprint to help build communities that contribute zero pollution to the environment. Soleil's first-of-its-kind virtual power plant is a turn-key solution. Utilized in commercial, industrial, and residential communities, Soleil's virtual power plant allows these communities to reduce their environmental impact and, in some cases, provide clean, renewable energy to those around them. Strategic partnerships with industry leaders allow Soleil to provide revolutionary energy solutions to multi-family apartment complexes, commercial office buildings, and industrial business parks.
