Pollo Campero Partners with NYCFC for Fan Engagement

Pollo Campero, a beloved chicken brand with roots in Guatemala, is enhancing the soccer experience for fans in New York City this season by launching a promotion tied to its partnership with New York City FC (NYCFC). This initiative combines ticket sweepstakes, app rewards, and exciting in-stadium experiences, strengthening the connection between the brand and the vibrant local soccer community.

Sweetening the Game-Day Experience

The promotion runs throughout the 2026 soccer season and kicks off with a series of ticket giveaways. Fans can win two tickets to selected NYCFC matches simply by downloading the Pollo Campero app and making a purchase at one of the participating locations in New York or New Jersey. Each transaction will grant an entry into the sweepstakes, making it easy for fans to engage and experience NYCFC live.

The featured matches include:

• - NYCFC vs. LAFC (Wednesday, May 6) - Sweepstakes start April 7
• - NYCFC vs. New York Red Bulls (Friday, Sept. 18) - Sweepstakes start August 11
• - NYCFC vs. Montreal (Saturday, Oct. 31) - Sweepstakes start September 30

Additionally, the campaign rewards fans for every match that NYCFC wins during the season. Eligible users will receive a push notification through the Pollo Campero app with an offer for a choice of free food items, such as a three-count chicken nugget order or an empanada, to celebrate the team's victory. This offer aims to enhance the match day excitement and encourages fans to share the experience with friends and family.

A Rich Heritage of Flavor and Community

For over five decades, Pollo Campero has been synonymous with authentic flavors and community ties. Known for its unique family recipes, the brand resonates deeply with Hispanic consumers, a demographic that has shown immense passion for soccer; about 84% identify as soccer fans. The brand’s longstanding presence in the New York area, with more than 16 locations—including a flagship at Penn Station—underscores its commitment and connection to local communities.

Steven Navas, the director of field marketing at Pollo Campero, emphasized the importance of this partnership: "We have been a part of New York City's narrative since our first store opened over 20 years ago. With NYCFC, we are further cultivating that relationship by offering fans ticket giveaways, app rewards, and experiences celebrating the sport we all cherish.”

A Brand with Global Reach

Pollo Campero, established in 1971 by Dionisio Gutiérrez G., has expanded significantly beyond its original borders in Guatemala. Now with over 350 restaurants in multiple countries, including the U.S., Mexico, and El Salvador, it serves over 80 million customers yearly. The brand prides itself on not just delicious food but also its social impact initiatives, such as providing educational opportunities to employees and supporting children with cancer through the Gran Rifa Únete a AYUVI.

As a cultural symbol in the Hispanic community and a supporter of local sports, Pollo Campero is poised to make this season a memorable one for NYCFC fans. For more information about the brand and its initiatives, visit Pollo Campero.
