“We’re very excited to welcome Campbell Snacks as an official partner for Charlotte FC during our inaugural season,” said Charlotte FC President Joe LaBue. “We look forward to working together with Campbell Snacks to elevate experiences for fans while advancing our commitment to combat food insecurity throughout the Carolinas.”

“Charlotte is a place where people and businesses can thrive. Through our work with Charlotte FC, we will advance community-based initiatives that combat food insecurity while connecting fans and bringing them new and exciting in-game experiences,” said Stephen Chriss, Vice President, Commerce & Omni Shopper Marketing for Campbell Snacks. “We have a long tradition of working to improve food access and nutrition programs in the communities we serve.”
