Valvoline Sponsors Soccer Championship

Valvoline Inc. is the latest brand to sign on as a partner of the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup soccer championship.

The Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association of Football official championship has already attracted other sponsors, including Camarena, Allstate Insurance Company, Cerveza Modelo, Nike, Scotiabank, Sprint and Toyota. Soccer United Marketing, Concacaf’s agency of record, facilitates the partnerships.

Taking place every two years, the Concacaf Gold Cup features many of the best players from the top national teams across the region. This year’s edition will feature an expansion in teams and host countries, with 16 participating teams as well as venues in the United States, Central America and the Caribbean.

As a partner, Valvoline underwrites the “High Mileage Stats of the Game Presented by Valvoline” digital platform, which will deliver stats and infographics to fans throughout the tournament.
