Lowe's has expanded and renewed its existing collaborative agreement with the professional soccer organization Inter Miami CF. This has elevated the home improvement retailer's status to a Main Partner and Official Jersey Sleeve Partner. Lowe's has also become a Founding Partner of the club's forthcoming Miami Freedom Park stadium complex.
The elevation of Lowe's involvement with Inter Miami CF was announced following the club's recent league championship and ahead of its move to a new venue. The partnership entails prominent logo placement on team uniforms at all competitive levels, involvement as a resource for the stadium district's construction, and a continued role as the presenting sponsor for the youth-focused Dreams Cup tournament.
Xavier Asensi, Inter Miami CF President of Business Operations, shared: “Our renewed collaboration reflects the strength of our relationship and a shared vision for building lasting impact – on the pitch, in our world-class stadium, and throughout the South Florida community.”
