Owen Wolff and Discount Tire Kick Off MLS All-Star Week with Local Youth Team

In a heartfelt display of community spirit, Owen Wolff, midfielder for Austin FC, joined forces with Discount Tire to launch the Major League Soccer (MLS) All-Star Week in Austin, Texas, on July 24, 2025. To commemorate this special event, the duo surprised a local soccer team, the North Austin Soccer Alliance, with generous donations of new equipment and fun-filled activities.

During a practice session with the North Austin Soccer Alliance, Wolff and representatives from Discount Tire distributed essential soccer gear, including new balls, pop-up goals, ball pumps, pennies for scrimmages, goalkeeper gloves, shin guards, and much more. The event was not just about the gifts, as Wolff engaged with young players, leading juggling contests and shooting drills to spark excitement and inspiration among future soccer stars.

Tom Williams, the Director of Customer Experience at Discount Tire, emphasized the importance of supporting the next generation of soccer players and fans. “At Discount Tire, we take pride in fostering a love for the game in our community. With almost 30 years of service to Austin's neighborhoods, it was only right for us to give back during this landmark event—Austin’s first MLS All-Star Week. We're thrilled to help grow the fanbase around MLS and support the soul of American soccer.”

Wolff, who became a local sensation when he signed with Austin FC at just 16 years old, is a role model for aspiring athletes in the community. The collaboration between Discount Tire and MLS highlights a larger commitment to grassroots soccer programs across the nation. As the official tire retailer for the MLS, Discount Tire also partners with other clubs including Chicago Fire FC, FC Cincinnati, Inter Miami CF, Nashville SC, Portland Timbers, and Seattle Sounders FC. Their retail stores offer a range of tires, wheels, and wiper blades across 20 markets that host current MLS teams.

In addition to the surprise event with the North Austin Soccer Alliance, Discount Tire will host various fan-focused activities in conjunction with their partnership with the MLS throughout the All-Star Week. Highlights include:

• - Distribution of branded drawstring backpacks at soccer celebration events.
• - Free air pressure check cards in partnership with Continental Tire.

Soccer fans who redeem these cards at the Discount Tire location on 2623 W Braker Lane will receive exclusive valet parking services during non-peak hours, positioned conveniently just a six-minute walk from Q2 Stadium, while supplies last.
