Fans of Major League Soccer (MLS) can now carry their fan pride out and about, as the league officially partners credit-first bank Avant for team-branded credit cards.
Aside from bearing your favorite team’s crest on the card, cardholders will gain exclusive access to ticket pre-sales, express entry to major events, and even first pick at merchandise. Plus, you’ll get to enjoy increased rewards for MLS-related purchases, so you can go all out to support your team.
Avant will have its branding featured at major league events, including the All-Star Game, MLS Cup Playoffs, and the MLS Cup. The bank will also become a Presenting Sponsor of matches shown on Univision for the second half of the season.
“As Major League Soccer continues to experience a period of incredible growth and innovation focused on the fan experience, we are proud to partner with Avant to engage fans and reward them for their passion,” said Carter Ladd, MLS EVP, Brand Alliances and Consumer Products.
“We look forward to collaborating with Avant on offering access to an MLS-branded affinity credit card that will provide our fans with access to a series of experiences and a way to highlight their fandom through their everyday lives,” he added.
With the MLS being the fastest-growing soccer league in the world—having more than doubled to 29 clubs within the last 15 years—it won’t be surprising if you will soon see tons of diehard supporters sporting their team’s branded credit card throughout the country.
