Brooklyn Football Club has entered into a multi-year partnership with Diaza Football, naming Diaza as the official technical sponsor for the club's men’s, women’s, and academy teams. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in both organizations' histories, promising to elevate the presence of Brooklyn FC in the U.S. soccer landscape while cementing Diaza’s role as a key player in professional sportswear.
A Partnership Rooted in Community and Excellence
The partnership between Brooklyn FC and Diaza Football is more than just a business agreement; it is a cultural alliance that seeks to create a deep connection between the club and its vibrant community. The new kits, designed by Diaza, will embody the essence of Brooklyn, blending the borough’s rich traditions with modern design and superior craftsmanship. This approach not only strengthens the bond between the club and its supporters but also showcases Brooklyn's unique identity on a global stage.
Matt Rizzetta, President of Brooklyn Football Club and Chairman of North Sixth Group, highlighted the significance of this collaboration, stating, “No city captures the essence of multiculturalism, inclusivity, and the passion of the world’s most beautiful game like Brooklyn. Brooklyn Football Club will be transformational for U.S. soccer, and we’re excited to offer a world-class soccer experience to the millions who love Brooklyn worldwide.”
Empowering the Next Generation of Soccer Stars
Brooklyn FC’s academy teams, which are integral to the club's mission of nurturing young talent, will also benefit immensely from Diaza’s support. Competing in the USL Academy, the academy teams aim to bridge the gap between youth and professional soccer, providing a clear pathway for aspiring athletes. This vision aligns perfectly with Diaza’s commitment to fostering the next generation of soccer stars, making this partnership a strategic fit for both organizations.
Diego Hurtado, Founder of Diaza Football, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, saying, “This has been one of our biggest goals since we started Diaza. We aimed to make it to the pro leagues in the US, and partnering with Brooklyn FC makes this a reality. Today, we are writing history for our brand.”
A New Chapter for Diaza and Brooklyn FC
This partnership is a natural progression for Diaza, especially following its recent acquisition by Club Underdog, a subsidiary of North Sixth Group, which is also the principal owner of Brooklyn Football Club. The collaboration signifies more than just a technical sponsorship; it represents a unified vision for the future of Brooklyn FC and its supporters. Diaza’s influence is already being felt globally, as evidenced by their recent partnership with Italy-based Campobasso FC and collaboration with Liquid Death, showcasing the brand’s innovative approach to sportswear.
The upcoming seasons are set to be exciting for Brooklyn FC, with the women’s team launching their campaign in the USL Super League on August 31, 2024, and the men’s team preparing to compete in the USL Championship in 2025. Both teams will call Maimonides Park in Coney Island their home, a location that perfectly reflects the vibrant culture and diversity of Brooklyn.
