By becoming an Official Health and Wellness Partner of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) and the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF), CVS Pharmacy has demonstrated its dedication to enhancing community health. These partnerships will be supported by a multi-year investment to build community multi-use soccer fields in a few markets throughout the nation.
“CVS Pharmacy is uniquely positioned to strengthen health at the community level,” stated Len Shankman, Executive Vice President and President, Pharmacy and Consumer Wellness, CVS Health. “As an Official Health and Wellness Partner of U.S. With soccer and the NWSL, we have a valuable opportunity to deepen our ties in the neighborhoods we serve. Soccer positively impacts health and community connection1, making this sponsorship a natural fit. We’re proud to partner with the NWSL, as well as the U.S. Soccer Men’s and Women’s National Teams, to help expand access to opportunities that will support wellness for generations of athletes to come.”
CVS has been supporting women’s soccer for a long time, and since 2020, it has worked with the Washington Spirit. Now, it will also sponsor the Seattle Reign FC and Kansas City Current. These club-specific sponsorships will help bring resources, rejuvenated spaces, and real community impact to more markets. This is because everyone involved believes that access to sports, safe places to play, and community connection are important for lifelong health.
“This partnership reflects the NWSL’s continued growth and our belief that the professional women’s game is a powerful catalyst for impact far beyond the pitch,” stated Matt Soloff, SVP of Partnerships, National Women’s Soccer League. “Together with CVS and our clubs, we’re translating that growth into real investment in healthier communities and expanding access and opportunity for the next generation of players and fans.”
Community soccer field revitalization initiative
At the heart of the initiative is a commitment to develop community multiuse soccer fields in select markets through 2028, creating welcoming, accessible spaces where families, kids and neighbors can gather, play, and connect. To support this work, CVS Pharmacy is teaming up with Alex Morgan, an NWSL icon and two-time Women’s World Cup champion, Olympic gold medalist, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and mom, along with U.S. Soccer ambassadors and NWSL clubs to help amplify the stories of soccer’s positive impact on communities, on and off the field.
“Soccer has shaped my life in countless ways, and I’ve seen firsthand how access to the game can build confidence, health, and community,” stated Alex Morgan. “I’m excited to work with CVS to help ensure more kids and families can experience the joy and well-being soccer brings—starting with the fields where it all begins.”
Supporting soccer and community health
“At U.S. Soccer, we believe the game can make a real difference beyond the field,” stated David Wright, Chief Commercial Officer of U.S. Soccer. “By working with CVS, a brand trusted by millions of families across the country, we have an opportunity to meet fans and families where they are and connect the game they love with everyday wellness.”
Beyond field improvements and to coincide with its club sponsorships, CVS Pharmacy will also amplify local causes and community programs that matter most to fans in Washington, D.C., Seattle, and Kansas City (State of Missouri). Through club-led initiatives, matchday experiences, and community investments with the Washington Spirit, Seattle Reign FC, and Kansas City Current, CVS will help foster more inclusive, welcoming environments that encourage movement, connection, and everyday wellbeing, while supporting local economic development.
