Pollo Campero's Exciting Partnership with New York City FC

In a vibrant fusion of culinary delight and athletic spirit, Pollo Campero, a beloved chicken restaurant originating from Guatemala, has officially become the chicken partner of New York City FC (NYC FC). This partnership not only represents a celebration of diverse cultures but also aims to deepen community ties through the universal passions of food and soccer.

A Season to Remember

For the 2025 soccer season, Pollo Campero's logo will prominently feature at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field during a total of seven games. This collaboration includes an exciting match against Inter Miami CF on September 24, promising to attract fans of both soccer and delicious fried chicken alike. From exclusive fan experiences to various giveaways, the partnership is set to create an electric atmosphere that engages communities across New York City.

Exclusive Fan Experiences and Giveaways

Pollo Campero’s strong commitment to community engagement will manifest through exclusive experiences throughout the season. Fans can look forward to the “Lucky Row” initiative at selected games, where they have the opportunity to win free three-piece chicken combo meals by simply sitting in designated rows. Additionally, NYC FC is holding a sweepstake that offers fans a chance to win co-branded merchandise as well as tickets to exciting matches, including the highly anticipated game against Inter Miami CF.

Moreover, a limited number of Golden Tickets will be available, providing lucky winners with a year's supply of delicious Pollo Campero chicken—two meals every month for twelve months that can be redeemed at any participating location. Restrictions apply, but the opportunity to indulge in flavorful chicken for a year is indeed a tempting prospect.

Strengthening Community Values

As Lorena Rivera, director of field marketing at Pollo Campero, states, “Both Pollo Campero and New York City FC understand that community is about more than just serving customers or fans—it’s about creating meaningful connections and celebrating heritage.” This partnership will allow Pollo Campero to reach new communities while staying loyal to their roots and family-oriented values that have been upheld for over 50 years.

Since its inception in Guatemala in 1971, Pollo Campero has specialized in deep-fried chicken famed for its unique flavors and high-quality ingredients. The transition from a local family-owned restaurant to a prominent player with over 120 locations across the U.S. is a testament to its commitment to consistent quality, community engagement, and culinary excellence.

New York City FC: A Force in Soccer

On the soccer side, New York City FC has established itself as a major player within Major League Soccer (MLS) since joining as the league's 20th franchise in 2013. The club proudly represents New York City and competes in the Eastern Conference of the league. Achieving notable milestones, NYC FC became the first professional sports team in New York to secure a championship title in a decade with their MLS Cup victory in 2021.

In addition to their on-field success, NYC FC strives to uplift local neighborhoods through community programs like the New York City Soccer Initiative, which has opened 50 mini-soccer pitches around NYC, fostering youth engagement in soccer and sportsmanship.

Final Thoughts
