SAN JOSE, Calif. – The San Jose Earthquakes announced today a multi-year partnership extension with Audi as the club’s official Luxury Vehicle Partner. The partnership will continue to develop programs that showcase Audi’s luxury brand to Quakes fans and launch new community initiatives in San Jose.
“Audi has been an incredibly supportive partner of the Earthquakes and we are thrilled to extend and expand our relationship,” said Earthquakes Vice President of Strategy Ian Anderson. “We are not just admirers of Audi vehicles, but many of our players and staff are also enthusiastic Audi drivers. We look forward to showcasing Audi’s brand and vehicles at PayPal Park for years to come.”
A longtime partner of the Quakes, Audi will continue to feature Audi Field Clubs and Audi Gate branding that is accessible exclusively to Quakes premium seat holders. Fans will also see Audi activations at PayPal Park on game days, with Audi vehicles located by the main entrance gate and on Wondo Way. In addition to a strong presence at PayPal Park, Audi will continue to support the Quakes Academy, helping cover living expenses for Academy players in need.
“We are delighted to continue our strong partnership with the San Jose Earthquakes,” said Audi Vice President Western Region, Steve Martini. “Whether it is parking in the Audi Lot, or supporting the Quakes Academy programs, we are excited to continue working with the Earthquakes as we strive to elevate our fan experience to the best in MLS.”
Audi will continue to engage in the community by presenting the Quakes’ annual Mexican Heritage Night, and sponsoring local artistic activations that will create gameday giveaways this season. New in 2022, Audi will launch their Quakes Away Match Experience, where lucky fans will have the opportunity to experience a Quakes away match by traveling down to southern California driving an Audi e-tron electric vehicle. More information on the exhilarating experience will be shared later.
Audi has been a league partner since 2015, and continues its partnership with San Jose as part of a greater effort to expand its presence in the local markets of MLS franchises.
