Major League Soccer

I am absolutely thrilled to welcome Major League Soccer to the OneFootball Partnership network! ⚽️ 🇺🇸 Personally speaking, the evolution of our Club, League, and Federation partnerships - from Dugout in the early days to where we are now at OneFootball - fills me with immense pride to look back on. MLS becoming the first league to sit on our Club Advisory Board is a huge statement and testament to the direction we’re heading in and I am really looking forward to working with the team at Major League Soccer! #sportsbiz #partnerships #OneFootball #MLS

Our staff was thrilled to honor the 23rd Anniversary of 9/11 by volunteering at the 9/11 Day Meal Pack event, where we packed meals for those in need, including children, seniors, veterans, and families at risk of hunger in the New York City area. This meaningful event took place on Thursday, September 12th, at the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum. The September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance, known as “9/11 Day,” is organized annually by the nonprofit 9/11 Day. Its mission is to promote unity, empathy, and service in tribute to the victims, survivors, families, and the countless individuals who rose to serve in response to the attacks. Each year, over 30 million Americans observe 9/11 Day by volunteering, donating to charities, and performing simple acts of kindness to help others.

In celebration of Hispanic/Latino Heritage Month, MLS is proud to highlight members of the Somos MLS community.
