Diaza x &FTBL: Where Culture Doesn’t Sit in the Stands, It Plays on the Field

Diaza is proud to keep building with & Football as they gear up for the 2026 season. We’re walking with them because we share a simple belief: great football can be played in parks, by communities, and for communities. It started in 2020, when the city felt smaller and lonelier. A handful of players, artists and neighbors—tired of a pay‑to‑play system that priced people out—decided to do something stubborn: make football happen. They pooled money, booked a park, printed a few shirts, and showed up. That small, improvised experiment grew season after season into & Football: a community‑owned league that treats the pitch like a neighborhood square, the kit like a canvas, and every player like a stakeholder. Rejecting pay‑to‑play, building a community economy From the start, & Football rejected the idea that access should depend on a wallet. The league channels every dollar back into the game—jerseys, media and operations—so the people who play are the ones who decide how value is used. That model flips incentives: instead of exclusivity or profit, the priority is making matches better, keeping operations honest, and giving players real ownership. Over eleven seasons in five years, with two reliable cycles each year, a WhatsApp community of roughly 100 players has kept rosters fluid and bonds tight. Each season fields about 50–60 players across six teams, and the league’s structure—shared decisions, reinvested funds, transparent priorities—creates a small, functioning economy where the community benefits directly from its own labor and creativity. Culture and community as the game itself Culture isn’t an add‑on for & Football; it’s the playing field. Seasonal themes—like the Caribbean kits of 2025—turn uniforms into statements of identity and heritage. Local photographers, filmmakers and designers use the league as a creative lab, producing work that elevates players and neighborhoods alike. Digitally, personalized stat cards and peer‑voted ratings give players visibility beyond the pitch. Matchdays feel like block parties: kids running between games, partners and friends on the sidelines, music, food and a real sense of belonging. Former professionals, national‑team players, creatives and neighborhood ballers share the same pitch; some of the city’s best female players line up next to former pros and everyday players. Teams carry stories and creative projects that ripple beyond the season, and the league’s archive—eleven seasons of documented stats, photo and video work—proves that grassroots football can produce both serious outcomes and cultural capital. Growth has followed without losing roots. & Football has taken teams and players into KidSuper Rooftop League, Icarus Cup, Bowery League and other recognized tournaments; they’ve won cups, earned nominations like Little Caribbean’s “Best Local Attraction,” and attracted international interest while keeping the community model intact. Matchday energy is unmistakable: Brooklyn grit, street‑football instincts and neighborhood pride. The league’s cultural mix leans Caribbean and Latin American but is intentionally eclectic; that blend gives each season a distinct flavor. Shared values We stand with & Football because they prove what we believe: you can create high‑quality, meaningful football in parks and local fields without turning the game into a commodity. They create visibility and opportunity for talent that often falls outside traditional pathways, and they build cultural infrastructure that benefits players, artists and neighborhoods alike. This is all about community and creativity. “Working with organizations like & Football reminds us why we started Diaza,” says Diego Hurtado, founder of Diaza. “Football is a tool to build community, and when culture comes first, the game becomes a platform for real opportunity. We want to keep building alongside projects that put people and creativity at the center.” The 2026 season is shaping up to be another chapter in a story about what football can be when it belongs to the people who play it, not to the highest bidder. This is football that happens in parks, made by people, and powered by culture. It’s joyful, competitive and communal—and it’s exactly the kind of game we want to keep building with.   Follow: &FTBL on Instagram: www.instagram.com/andfootballleague Diaza: www.instagram.com/diazafootball More on our work at www.diaza.com

New York / Campobasso — August 2025 Diaza Football, one of the fastest-growing custom sportswear brands in the U.S. and Europe, proudly unveils the new 2025/26 kits of Campobasso FC, bringing design, tradition, and innovation together for a historic Serie C season. This collaboration isn’t just about uniforms, it’s about storytelling through design. Each jersey was crafted to reflect the heart of Molise, the passion of its supporters, and the resilience that defines both Campobasso and Diaza. The Kits: A Blend of Heritage and Vision Home Kit: “Steel at Heart”Red and blue, but more than colors: fire and steel. Inspired by the legacy of Maestro Mario Villani, Campobasso’s home jersey carries embossed steel patterns at its core, honoring craft, grit, and tradition. Away Kit: “White as Vision”A clean canvas of pure white with red-and-blue veins running down the sides. It is a shirt of elegance and forward-looking ambition, perfect for players and fans carrying the club’s identity across Italy. Coppa Italia Special Edition: “Lines of the Future”A bold blue, intersected with vertical red lines, symbolizing progress and modern identity. This kit represents a club rooted in tradition but unafraid to look ahead.   Diaza x Campobasso: More than a Sponsorship For Diaza, these jerseys are a living manifesto of what we call the Diaza Mentality: creativity, resilience, and community.We are not just outfitting Campobasso FC, we are amplifying their story. From grassroots leagues in the United States to iconic clubs in Europe, Diaza believes in supporting players, fans, and communities with designs that carry meaning and inspire pride. Our work with Campobasso is also a way of honoring the club’s incredible journey, which has captured worldwide attention — including the ESPN original docuseries “Running with the Wolves.” Diego Hurtado, Founder & CEO of Diaza Football:“Being part of Campobasso’s story is a privilege. These jerseys aren’t just performance gear — they’re about history, identity, and belief. Every detail reflects what it means to play with heart and to dream big. That is Diaza, and that is Campobasso.” Campobasso FC Management:“Together with Diaza, we wanted our kits to go beyond aesthetics. They carry the symbols of our city, the spirit of our fans, and the vision of where this club is heading.”   Campobasso FC Writing Its Story: From Coppa Triumph to Serie C Momentum The 2025–26 season has only just begun, but for Campobasso FC, the journey is already shaping its identity. What started in mid-August with anticipation has quickly turned into results that reflect both triumph and the hard lessons of competition. A Confident Start in the Coppa Italia On August 16, Campobasso opened its Coppa Italia Serie C campaign with style, defeating Casertana FC 3–0 at home. It was more than a victory; it was a statement of intent. The squad displayed the tactical discipline, sharp execution, and collective hunger that had been built during preseason. A Tough First Step in Serie C A week later, on August 23, the club began its Serie C season away against Ravenna FC. Despite a spirited performance, Campobasso fell 3–2, a narrow loss that underlined both the challenges of the league and the resilience of a team that refused to stop fighting until the final whistle. Rather than discouragement, the match fueled determination. New signings showed flashes of quality, while experienced leaders carried the fight. Even in defeat, the identity of this squad, hard work, grit, and belief, was clear for all to see. On August 30, they overcame Torres with a 2–1 victory. First league and home win, combined with the Coppa triumph, have built a foundation of belief, not only in the locker room but across the Molise community. Backed by the Fans, Focused on the Future What remains constant is the passion surrounding the club. Supporters continue to fill the stands and lift the team, making every match a shared story between Molise and its players. With the city behind them, Campobasso moves forward knowing that each result, win or loss, is part of a larger journey. The season is young, the road is long, and for Campobasso, every chapter is another chance to show what it means to wear the badge.

Austin, TX - A city built on music, creativity, and a spirit that refuses to settle. That’s exactly the same fire Austin Rise FC carried when they stepped into the pitch for the first time. And in just two years, they’ve turned that fire into championships, culture, and a movement that’s bigger than the game. At Diaza, we’re proud to be part of that climb. Not just as a kit supplier, but as partners who share the same vision: that football is more powerful when it’s built on community, purpose, and belief. More Than Jerseys The Austin Rise x Diaza kits were designed to be more than fabric and stitching. They’re symbols of what Austin is all about — bold, vibrant, inclusive. The home kit: sleek, modern, unapologetic, just like the city itself. The away kit: intentional, versatile, a reflection of Austin’s creative heartbeat. From players stepping onto the field to supporters in the stands, these kits carry a message: you belong here. “Austin Rise set the standard. Every kit we’ve built together honors that spirit of possibility and resilience.”— Diego Hurtado, Founder of Diaza A Legacy in the Making Two years. Two WPSL Lone Star Championships. That’s not luck — that’s proof. Proof that grit and belief can carry you further than resources ever will. Proof that women’s soccer in Austin isn’t just alive, it’s thriving. And the journey is only beginning. With the club set to make the leap into WPSL Pro in 2026, Diaza is all in — providing elite training gear, creating platforms to tell their story, and standing shoulder-to-shoulder in their mission to grow the women’s game. Why It Matters This partnership isn’t just business. It’s a shared promise: To invest in women’s sports and make professional pathways real. To use design as a language of belonging and empowerment. To make sure every player — from academy kids to champions — feels proud in what they wear. Austin Rise is rising. And with Diaza at their side, the climb is just beginning. The Diaza Mentality We believe in working hard, fighting for what you love, and never forgetting where you come from. That’s the Diaza mentality. And it’s alive in every Austin Rise jersey, every celebration, every trophy lifted high under the Texas sun. This isn’t just about kits. It’s about culture. It’s about proving, together, that football belongs to everyone. 👉 Add links at the bottom: Diaza Football IG Austin Rise IG Diaza Website
