Herbalife partnered with FIFA 1904 as the wellness partner of the fashion brand's SoHo headquarters, with the 'Herbalife FIFA 1904' collaboration bringing a nutrition-inspired mocktail bar and wellness programming to the immersive Mercer Street activation through July 19. The space blends soccer culture, fashion and music alongside FIFA 1904's latest apparel collection, positioning wellness as a core part of the summer soccer experience.
The partnership also extends to the Harlem Lane Street Soccer Tournament, a 3v3 community event sponsored by FIFA 1904 on Saint Nicholas Avenue Open Streets. Herbalife brings its broader sports portfolio to the collaboration, with partnerships spanning more than 120 professional athletes and teams across 35-plus sports, including more than 20 football partnerships worldwide.
Herbalife shows how wellness brands can build cultural relevance by integrating into fashion-forward sports experiences where nutrition, style and community naturally converge.
