More Than a Partnership: Alianza Announces Continued Partnership with Chobani to Drive Impact in Communities Through Nutrition and Sport in 2026

Chobani returns as an official partner of Alianza for a third consecutive year, expanding its presence across all eight tour stops with on-site experiences and product sampling, and digital integration.

NEW YORK, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Alianza, the leading national soccer program serving Hispanic communities across the United States, today announced the return of Chobani as an official partner for the 2026 season, marking the third consecutive year of partnership. The collaboration continues to expand around a shared commitment to community, nutrition, and youth empowerment, using sport as a powerful platform to connect with families and create meaningful impact.

Chobani will have a presence across all eight stops of the 2026 Tour, engaging directly with families and participants through on-site activations, product sampling, and immersive brand experiences. The partnership will also extend into digital storytelling, amplifying Chobani's mission to make nutritious food more accessible while supporting grassroots soccer nationwide.

Access to wholesome, high-quality food is key to overall health, both on and off the field, especially for youth pursuing their goals through sport. Together, Chobani and Alianza aim to help families build healthier, lasting habits.

"This partnership is rooted in what matters most to us, our Hispanic community," said Daina Lecuona, General Manager of Alianza.
