Premier global nutrition company, Herbalife Nutrition
(NYSE:HLF), is named the official sports nutrition partner of the
International Champions Cup (ICC). The ICC, founded in 2013, is the
world’s premier annual summer soccer tournament featuring 12 of the
top clubs in the world, playing 18 matches in 16 cities across
North America, Europe and Asia, and is owned and operated by
Relevent Sports Group (RSG). Herbalife Nutrition’s partnership with
this year’s tournament brings matches to China on July 24 and 25,
and was made possible by the China Investment Fund, using tax
incentives provided by the Chinese government. Herbalife
Nutrition’s sports nutrition line, currently used by more than 190
athletes and sports teams around the world, will be available on
the field at all matches for players to use.
“As soccer fans ourselves, we’re excited to help bring the
International Champions Cup to fans all over the world. It’s
especially exciting to have matches played in China, where millions
of fans will have an opportunity to cheer on some of the world’s
premier soccer teams,” said Michael Johnson, CEO of Herbalife
Nutrition. “The teams and players participating in ICC matches are
competing at the highest level of the sport, so you know that
conditioning, nutrition and hydration are key factors to their
success.”
Top soccer teams from around the world, including Juventus,
Manchester United, Arsenal, FC Bayern and Tottenham Hotspur will
have access to the Herbalife Nutrition NSF certified for sports
hydration and nutrition products at all tournament matches. The
International Champions Women’s Cup, starting August 15 in Cary,
North Carolina, will also benefit from Herbalife Nutrition products
and will feature company-sponsored Atletico de Madrid Women’s
soccer club, as well as the North Carolina Courage, Lyon and
Manchester City.
“It’s important for us at Relevent Sports Group to find global
partners who share our vision for the growth of soccer,” said Aaron
Ryan, Chief Operating Officer of Relevent Sports Group. “Herbalife
Nutrition has a long history of supporting soccer, so it was a
natural fit to bring them on as the sports nutrition provider for
the International Champions Cup.”
In addition to festivities surrounding the matches, Herbalife
Nutrition and the ICC will partner with local charitable
organizations, Angel Hears Love and Teenager Football Competition,
to engage with local community youth by hosting player
meet-and-greets, skills clinics and donation of seats to the
games.
