<\/p>\nAngel City Football Club (ACFC) has appointed THE\u00b7TEAM, a leading global sports, music, and entertainment company, to manage sales for two of the club\u2019s most significant commercial assets: its front-of-kit sponsorship and the naming rights to its world-class performance center. The engagement will be led by THE\u00b7TEAM\u2019s North American Rights Sales group, an industry leader in sales.<\/p>\n
The appointment marks a further expansion of THE\u00b7TEAM\u2019s growing rights sales portfolio in North America and reflects the company\u2019s commitment to advancing women\u2019s sports by building high-value, purpose-led commercial strategies.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Angel City FC has become a standard-bearer for the NWSL\u2019s growth, leading in attendance, commercial revenue, and franchise value. Led by controlling owners Willow Bay and Bob Iger, Angel City FC is now the world\u2019s most valuable women\u2019s football club, valued at $380 million, and has pioneered a purpose-driven partnership model that reinvests 10% of every sponsorship agreement directly into the Los Angeles community.<\/p>\n
Backed by The Collective, THE\u00b7TEAM\u2019s women-focused impact and advisory practice, the Rights Sales group will lead the go-to-market strategy and sales process for ACFC\u2019s next front-of-kit partner, developing a bespoke commercial narrative around the club\u2019s fanbase, cultural relevance, market footprint in Los Angeles, and global influence.<\/p>\n
The company will also manage the naming rights process for ACFC\u2019s performance center in Thousand Oaks, California, the largest facility dedicated solely to an NWSL club, with 50,000 square feet of indoor space across a nine-acre site.<\/p>\n
\u201cChampioning and accelerating the growth of women\u2019s sport has been a core focus for THE\u00b7TEAM for many years, and it is a privilege to partner with a market-leading organization such as Angel City FC,\u201d said Chris Foy, Managing Director & EVP, Rights Sales, North America at THE\u00b7TEAM. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe front-of-kit sponsorship represents one of the most visible and impactful platforms in global sport today and an opportunity for a brand to align with a club that embodies ambition, purpose, and cultural relevance. We look forward to identifying a partner that shares Angel City\u2019s vision.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we evaluated the right partner to represent Angel City FC in the marketplace, THE\u00b7TEAM distinguished itself through its long-standing commitment to women\u2019s sport and its proven track record of delivering transformative commercial partnerships,\u201d said Alex Mallen, Senior Director, Corporate Partnerships. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe pedigree and legacy of The Collective, combined with the Right Sales team\u2019s history of setting new global sales benchmarks, gave us confidence that they were the ideal partner to bring our most valuable commercial assets to market in a way that reflects the ambition, values, and long-term vision of our club.\u201d<\/p>\n
THE\u00b7TEAM continues to expand its global portfolio of sports and entertainment properties, with expertise spanning Formula One, the WTA, Breeders\u2019 Cup, Dude Perfect, and other marquee platforms.<\/p>\n
