The U.S. Soccer Federation and The Home Depot today announced an expansive partnership, making the world’s largest home improvement retailer a strategic partner of the 27 U.S. Soccer National Teams, including the U.S. Men’s and Women’s senior National Teams, as well as the Federation’s Youth and Extended National Teams. The retailer will also be a Supporting Level partner of the Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center – U.S. Soccer’s new home in Atlanta, named for the company’s co-founder.
“The Home Depot’s deep roots in the Atlanta community and strong ties to sports, and soccer in general, make it a perfect strategic partner for our Federation,” said U.S. Soccer Chief Commercial Officer David Wright. “Its support is crucial toward building our National Training Center and helping us unite communities across the country through the beautiful game, and we look forward to what we can achieve together in service to soccer.”
“The Home Depot is thrilled to deepen our commitment to soccer through this partnership with The U.S. Soccer Federation,” said Molly Battin, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at The Home Depot. “Our customers are passionate about sports, including soccer, and we’re proud to support the game they love. This partnership allows us to help build the foundation for the future of soccer in the U.S.”
The partnership was officially announced at an in-person event at the construction site of U.S. Soccer’s new state-of-the-art National Training Center, where Wright and Battin, along with The Home Depot field associates, celebrated a marquee coming together of two iconic brands based in the Atlanta area. During the event, U.S. Soccer’s Chief Financial Officer Chelle Adams provided updates on the facility’s construction.
Through this partnership, U.S. Soccer and The Home Depot will bring communities together by shining a spotlight on local Hometown Heroes who are creating a positive impact in their communities, engaging them as Gameday Ambassadors for unique matchday experiences at U.S. Soccer matches.
The partnership complements The Home Depot’s recent deal with FIFA, which made it the official home improvement retailer in North America for the 2026 FIFA World Cup which will take place across Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Atlanta will also host eight matches throughout the tournament, including a semifinal.
