We are excited to announce that nVent has become an official partner of the Minnesota United FC (MNUFC). This multi-year partnership with MNUFC expands nVent’s visibility in the Minnesota Twin Cities metro area and brings nVent’s brand to life in the world’s most popular sport.
MNUFC plays at Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minnesota where thousands of passionate fans attend each home game. Since its inception, Minnesota United has emphasized that soccer is more than a pastime - it has the potential to be a vehicle and platform for bringing communities together and effecting change in the world.
In addition to the team’s efforts on the pitch, they focus their time and energy towards youth enrichment, inclusion and diversity and sustainability.
“We are thrilled to kick-off our partnership with MNUFC and to support the vibrant and growing soccer community in the Twin Cities,” said Chief Marketing Officer Martha Bennett. “Aligning our brand with this innovative franchise and the global game of soccer will bring exciting opportunities for our employees, customers and all our stakeholders. Our shared values of sustainability and inclusion will further strengthen our partnership, and I look forward to seeing its evolution over the next several years.”
Both nVent and MNUFC are women-led organizations with a strong presence in the community and growing global brands. This partnership will bring many exciting opportunities to both organizations. Above the Grand Casino Brew Hall at Allianz Field, nVent will maintain a permanent presence on the Roof Deck, the premier large group event space offering up to 250 guests a festive tailgate atmosphere and stunning views of the game. nVent signage will be prominently visible next to the iconic Allianz Field classic scoreboard and clock during all events at Allianz Field.
nVent also will be the supporting partner of MNUFC Community Clean-Up events in the St. Paul/Midway Neighborhood where Allianz Field is located. There will be two annual clean-ups with the support of local chapters from nVent’s Grass Roots Employee Resource Group alongside MNUFC employees.
Join us to celebrate the kickoff of our partnership at Minnesota United’s match against the Portland Timbers on May 18, where nVent will be the game’s presenting partner. With an elevated presence around the arena and in MNUFC marketing collateral, you won’t be able to miss us. We hope to see you there. It’s going to be an exciting 2024 MNUFC season—go Loons!
