US Major League Soccer franchise Sporting Kansas City has entered into a multi-year commercial partnership with UMB Bank, a subsidiary of American financial services group UMB Financial Corporation.
Under the terms of the deal, UMB Bank gains the designation of first team partner to Sporting KC, the club’s highest tier of sponsorship, and becomes its official commercial banking sponsor.
Additionally, the bank will welcome fans to its named UMB Premium Entrance at the Sporting Park stadium as the UMB Field Club sponsor and will be the theme night sponsor for the August 31 home match against Colorado Rapids to mark the new deal.
UMB has an established history of partnering with sports organisations and venues in the Kansas City area, including the Sprint Center and Arrowhead Stadium – home to NFL American football team the Kansas City Chiefs.
