Lehi, UT (PRWEB) November 21, 2009
This Sunday, when Major League Soccer’s Real Salt Lake (RSL) takes on David Beckham, Landon Donovan and the star-studded Los Angeles Galaxy for the MLS Cup, the team will carry support well beyond the 12th man. RSL supporters will wear the team shield with pride, hailing from diverse parts of the world, including Latin America, Europe, Asia and Australia, in addition to locations all across the U.S. and Canada. This loyal fan base of more than 1 million has one thing in common – they are independent Distributors for XanGo, LLC, the health and wellness pioneering company that was the first to sponsor a jersey-front in North American professional sports.
“Three-plus years ago, when we entered into the historic agreement with Real Salt Lake and Major League Soccer, we committed to be passionate fans of the game and our club,” said XanGo Founder and Board Member Gordon Morton. “We’ve kept that pledge and are proud to do our part in evangelizing the merits of North American soccer well beyond the borders of the U.S. and Canada by reaching diverse parts of the world where the RSL jersey is proudly worn by our Distributors.”
This July, XanGo renewed the pioneering jersey-front sponsorship deal – initially inked in October 2006 – for another three years ensuring the partnership will continue to grow along with the influence of soccer in North America. Just last month, more than 3,000 XanGo Distributors in Salt Lake City for the company’s annual convention cheered on RSL as it completed its home schedule and qualified for the playoffs. Few could have predicted that win would ultimately propel the team into this weekend’s MLS Cup in Seattle.
“Many of our employees and Distributors are driving or busing up to Seattle, with others catching last-minute flights to watch the match,” said Morton. “We’ll make sure RSL feels XanGo’s support.”
The MLS Cup between the Los Angeles Galaxy and Real Salt Lake will be broadcast live on ESPN at 8:30 p.m. EST/5:30 p.m. PST on Sunday, Nov. 22. Check your local listings. For more information on XanGo, please visit http://www.xango.com.
