Diaza Football Secures Historic Multi-Year Partnership with Brooklyn FC

Since our initial start in 2019, Diaza Football has taken notable strides when it comes to reaching our mission. Last year Diaza made its greatest achievements, yet it is only the beginning. In May of 2024, Diaza partnered with BeTheNextPro Soccer to host tryouts for ambitious players and provide them with the opportunity to showcase their skills. During this three-day combine, leagues like USL Championship Club, NISA, and MLS Next Pro, as well as several European coaches were present to scout new and upcoming talent. The ten best players were flown to Europe to continue the connections and progress for their careers that Diaza X BeTheNextPro were able to offer. Over the course of last year, Diaza signed three youth academies containing between 100 to 200 players each. These three teams include the U.S. Soccer Prospects, Ultimate Soccer Training, and the CH4 Soccer Academy. These clubs are based in Texas, New York, and Florida, respectively. This allowed Diaza to display the variety of its brand offerings by providing them to all age groups and levels. On August 22, 2024, Brooklyn FC announced their multi-year partnership with Diaza, writing, “A renowned brand synonymous with passion, endurance, and excellence, DIAZA is a trailblazer in the sportswear industry with deep roots in the soccer community.” Diaza provides them with their men’s, women’s, and youth teams' gear—making the Brooklyn FC Women our first Pro Women's Team in NYC. On June 16th, 2024, Diaza was the official apparel provider for the Game of Legends held at the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California. This match featured two of the greatest faces in football history, Ronaldinho and Kaka—both serving as captains of their own teams. The event showcased Diaza’s capabilities in the sports apparel field and solidified our relationships with legends like Ronaldinho. On July 8th, 2024, Italian side Campobasso FC announced Diaza as its official technical sponsor. After months of collaboration and an in-person visit to Italy, Diaza and Campobasso FC forged a partnership based on shared passion and goals. Finally, on December 12, 2024, we unveiled our biggest collaboration of the year: the Liquid Death x Campobasso limited-edition jersey. Featuring a sleek all-black design with red and gold detailing and the Liquid Death skull logo front and center, this release exemplified our mission to empower smaller teams with professional-grade gear.

New York, NY and Orlando, FL — Diaza Football is proud to announce a new partnership with The Power of Friendship FC, an innovative startup soccer team based in Orlando, Florida, competing in the United Premier Soccer League (UPSL). Founded by Sola Fatade, The Power of Friendship FC aims to redefine community-based soccer with an inclusive, free-to-play model that prioritizes camaraderie, accessibility, and a shared love for the game. The Power of Friendship FC began with a simple, powerful vision from its founder, Sola Fatade. Reflecting on his experiences, Sola shares, “I wanted to play soccer competitively with people I enjoyed being around. On so many teams, I found myself investing significant time, energy, and money without receiving the support or environment that players deserve. Instead of waiting for someone else to create that team, I decided to build it myself.” Today, The Power of Friendship FC is more than just a team; it’s a place where players and fans alike can feel at home. The club’s free-to-play model breaks down financial barriers, making competitive soccer accessible to all. Every game and practice is recorded, providing players with a valuable tool to analyze their performance and create highlight reels to support their soccer careers. This approach not only enriches the players’ experience but also equips them with opportunities for advancement, on and off the field. The team currently offers men’s competitive soccer in multiple formats, including 11v11, 7v7, and 5v5. In the future, they aim to expand into beach soccer and hope to offer the same opportunities for women and youth players as they grow. The Power of Friendship FC’s vision extends beyond soccer—it’s about creating a supportive space where fans and players come together. The team regularly hosts events like field days and post-game dinners, where community members can socialize, enjoy food, music, and engage in friendly sports activities. “We want to be a positive presence in the community, offering a place where people can get together, work together, and play together,” Sola explains. The team’s new partnership with Diaza Football brings a fresh level of professionalism and style to their journey. “After I started the team, I looked for custom uniforms that reflected our unique team culture,” says Sola. “I quickly realized the options were limited with big brands. When Diaza reached out and showed a genuine interest in helping us bring our vision to life, it was clear they were the right fit. The Diaza team has been incredibly supportive, professional, and truly cares about our goals. I’m proud of what we’ve created together and excited for our future collaborations.” In collaboration with Diaza, The Power of Friendship FC’s new uniforms are more than just kits; they’re a symbol of the team’s identity and values. Crafted with high-quality materials, the jerseys combine vibrant colors and unique details that reflect the spirit of friendship and community. These jerseys offer both performance and style, allowing players and fans to wear them with pride as symbols of their connection to the team. Diaza Football’s founder, Diego Hurtado, spoke about the significance of this partnership: “It’s incredibly important to work on growing soccer from its roots. This partnership with The Power of Friendship FC aligns perfectly with what we believe in at Diaza: building from the community, from shared ideals, from something as simple and profound as a group of friends united by the ball. We’re honored to support teams like this that reflect the values of passion and teamwork.” The Power of Friendship FC’s entry into the UPSL aligns seamlessly with the league’s mission to make soccer accessible to communities across the country. “Not every city can have an MLS team, but every city can have a UPSL team,” says Sola. “The UPSL is uniquely positioned to help soccer grow in the U.S., offering opportunities to a wide range of players who want to compete at a high level without the restrictions of college or professional league systems.” As Diaza and The Power of Friendship FC embark on this exciting journey together, they invite like-minded individuals and businesses to join them in their mission to make competitive soccer accessible to all. This partnership is just the beginning, and both Diaza and The Power of Friendship FC are excited to make a lasting impact on the Orlando community and beyond.
