The Spokane Club, one of the longest-running athletic facilities in Spokane, has been named the official Athletic Club Partner of the Spokane Velocity FC and the Spokane Zephyr FC.
The Club, located in the heart of downtown and whose workout facilities overlook the Spokane River, also will serve as the official workout facility of both professional soccer teams.
“We think it makes really great sense for Spokane’s newest sports venture to team up with one of the city’s most venerable athletic clubs,” said Tate Kelly, Vice President of Partnerships for USL Spokane. “They have the right mix of amenities, equipment, and venues to meet the needs of our high-level professional athletes.
From Harmukh ‘Molly’ Sandhu, CEO of the Spokane Club, “We are thrilled to partner with Spokane Velocity FC and Spokane Zephyr FC, as this collaboration represents a union of Spokane’s rich sporting heritage and its exciting future. Our commitment to excellence in athletic facilities and services aligns perfectly with the needs of high-level professional soccer teams. This partnership not only enhances our support for professional sports in Spokane but also underscores our dedication to promoting health, fitness, and community engagement. We look forward to playing a pivotal role in the journey and success of these teams, and to bringing our members and the wider community closer to the thrilling world of professional soccer.”
The Spokane Club is an Aequus Circle Partner, which is the top level of partnership with USL Spokane. The ONE Spokane Stadium videoboard will feature electronic messages from the club, and permanent club branding will be placed in the stadium year-round. Additionally, the Spokane Club is an official sponsor of the USL Spokane mobile app, which is being released February 2024.
USL Spokane will field two professional soccer teams and one pre-professional team in Spokane. The men’s team, the Spokane Velocity FC, will play as a Division III team in USL League One with a first match on the road March 9 at Greenville Triumph and home opener on March 16 at the new ONE Spokane Stadium. The Spokane Zephyr FC, a women’s professional team, will play in the USL Super League that is expected to be sanctioned as a Division I league, starting in August 2024. A pre-professional women’s team made up of elite college players will play in the USL W League.
