EUGENE, OR — Sept. 24, 2025 — Sporting Cascades FC is proud to announce Craft Sportswear as its exclusive apparel and equipment sponsor in a multi-year partnership. All players, coaches, and staff of Sporting Cascades FC will wear Craft apparel for matches,
training, and official events. Craft will serve as the premium teamwear provider as Sporting Cascades enters its inaugural 2026 USL League One season. This partnership marks Craft Sportswear USA’s first-ever professional team sponsorship, a milestone that connects their world-class performance apparel brand to the Eugene, Oregon based club, its community, and the next chapter of professional soccer in the Pacific Northwest.
“Craft is a wonderfully natural fit for us,” said Dave Galas, president of Sporting Cascades FC. “Their reputation in endurance sports, their global partnerships in European football, and their dedication to sustainability align perfectly with our values. We’re honored to be their first professional club partner in North America and proud to bring their premium design and innovation to our players, staff, and supporters.”
Craft will be present both on and off the field, helping to strengthen the bond between club, sport, and supporters in a collaboration that is more than a sponsorship. It’s a statement about shared values: performance, sustainability, and community impact. Together with Craft, Sporting Cascades is building a foundation that will carry not only it and its supporters, but the sport itself in the Pacific Northwest into an exciting new era.
“Sporting Cascades represents everything we stand for at Craft: a commitment to community, a connection to the natural environment, and a pursuit of performance,” said Jake Rawson, chief executive officer of Craft Sportswear USA. “Eugene’s storied athletic tradition reflects the same drive for excellence that defines our brand. As we make our first entry into American professional soccer, we’re excited to partner with a club that shares this DNA of community and performance. Our partnerships with teams in Europe reflect the strong ties between sport, community and nature across the Nordics, and Sporting Cascades brings those values to life here in the Pacific Northwest. We’re proud to help bring their vision to life with kits built to perform as dynamically as the team itself.”
Sporting Cascades branded Craft merchandise will be available soon, with custom jerseys to be released in late fall 2025.
