US-based CVS Pharmacy said it is becoming an Official Health and Wellness Partner of the U.S Soccer Federation (USSF) and the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL).
The company said the sponsorship will be backed with a multi-year investment to develop community multi‑use soccer fields in select markets across the country, according to a media release.
“CVS Pharmacy is uniquely positioned to strengthen health at the community level,” the press release quoted Len Shankman, Executive Vice President and President, Pharmacy and Consumer Wellness, CVS Health, as saying.
“As an Official Health and Wellness Partner of U.S. Soccer and the NWSL, we have a valuable opportunity to deepen our ties in the neighbourhoods we serve,” Shankman said, adding that “we’re proud to partner with the NWSL, as well as the U.S. Soccer Men’s and Women’s National Teams to help expand access to opportunities that will support wellness for generations of athletes to come.”
Building on its long-term support of women’s soccer, including partnering with the Washington Spirit since 2020, CVS will also sponsor the Seattle Reign FC and Kansas City Current. Together, these club-specific sponsorships will help bring resources, revitalized spaces and meaningful community impact to additional markets – reflecting a shared belief that access to sports, safe places to play and community connection are essential drivers of lifelong wellbeing.
