The renewal follows the announcements last week that US Soccer had renewed its long-standing sponsorship deal with international brewing giant Anheuser-Busch InBev and struck a multi-year extension and expansion with insurance company Allstate.

David Wright, chief commercial officer of US Soccer, said: “We’re incredibly proud to continue our strategic partnership with Volkswagen. VW has played an integral role in increasing accessibility to our sport and we look forward to continuing to work together as we drive forward to make soccer more fun, inclusive, and ultimately, the preeminent sport in our country.”

Pablo Di Si, president and chief executive of Volkswagen Group of America, added: “We are thrilled to renew our partnership with US Soccer. We look forward to continuing to help grow this great sport in the U.S. and all over the world. Just as Volkswagen is the People’s Car, soccer is the People’s Sport – both represent accessible fun for everyone.”
