“Today’s announcement marks another major defining moment for our club,”
said Atlanta United president Darren Eales. “We could not be happier
that American Family Insurance will not only be the Official Insurance
Partner of Atlanta United, but also the Official Jersey Sponsor for
Atlanta United. It’s a partnership that works on many levels including
similar organizational values and a strong commitment to community. We
look forward to introducing the American Family Insurance brand to MLS
and global soccer audiences.”

As part of the partnership, American Family Insurance will have
entitlement to the American Family Insurance Dream Tryout Tour. The tour
will include four events across the southeast giving aspiring athletes
the opportunity to tryout for the Atlanta United first team. Information
including locations and dates for the tour can be found here.

“American Family Insurance is proud to be a partner to the greater
Atlanta community and now Atlanta United,” said Chief Marketing Officer
Telisa Yancy. “We are confident this partnership with Atlanta United and
Mercedes-Benz Stadium will inspire players, prospective players and fans
who come to this stadium to pursue fearless dreams in all areas of their
lives.”

Earlier this year, American Family Insurance was announced as a founding
partner
of Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the new home of Atlanta United.
Included in the agreement are advertising, branding, promotional and
signage opportunities at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, set to open in 2017. In
addition, the American Family Insurance Fan Village, a multi-acre
interactive fan zone to be located outside of Mercedes-Benz Stadium,
will feature family-friendly activations and activities for select
Atlanta United home games.

This is the first MLS jersey sponsorship for American Family Insurance.
The Madison, Wisconsin-based company sponsors several professional
sports teams including the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks,
Indianapolis Colts and Green Bay Packers. The company has also named
several accomplished athletes as brand ambassadors, such as former New
York Yankee Derek Jeter, Houston Texans’ J.J. Watt and Golden State
Warriors’ Kevin Durant.

Atlanta United will unveil the official first team kit and training wear
featuring the American Family Insurance branding later this year.
