NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nashville Soccer Club has announced Nissan as a founding partner and the club’s first jersey sponsor.
Nissan has strong ties to Nashville with its North American headquarters in Franklin, Tenn., its vehicle and battery assembly plant in Smyrna, Tenn., and powertrain plant in Decherd, Tenn., employing more than 12,000 in the area.
“Nissan is the perfect fit for our first jersey sponsor.

We look forward to working together to grow the sport while engaging the community.”
Nashville SC is the most recent addition to Nissan’s global soccer portfolio, which includes partnerships with UEFA Champions League and the English Premier League’s Manchester City, as well as sponsorship of the Mexican National Team’s U.S. Tour.
