Desert Ford Dealers to Become Official Automotive Partner of the Arizona Soccer Association’s State Cup and Presidents Cup

PHOENIX- (October 13, 2023) The Arizona Soccer Association (ASA) announced that the Desert Ford Dealers have become the exclusive automotive and dealership partner of the 2024 Arizona State Cup and Presidents Cup tournaments, which take place next spring.

The partnership is an excellent alignment of both entities in that it allows them to realize their mutual goal to foster the mental, physical, and emotional growth of Arizona’s youth through the game of soccer.

As the exclusive automotive partner, Desert Ford Dealers will join ASA in elevating this season’s State Cup and Presidents Cup events. Not only will the Desert Ford dealers present a dynamic display of vehicles on site, but they will also be filling the bed of a Ford F-150 truck with soccer balls during the tournaments. The person who correctly guesses the number of balls will win them for their favorite ASA soccer team.

“Arizona Soccer Association is honored to be partnering with the Desert Ford Dealers,” said CEO Jonathan Berzins. “Because we share the same vision of giving back and supporting the community, it is a natural association. This partnership will create several opportunities for ASA members and their families, and we are truly excited to be ‘Driven by Desert Ford Dealers.’”

“Ford has a long history of giving back to the communities they serve, and Desert Ford Dealers are proud to partner with Arizona Soccer Association to do just that, give back,” said Mark Witthar, Chairman of the Desert Ford Dealers Association. “Our commitment to the local Arizona communities is vital to growth and development, especially to our youth, which is why partnerships like these make perfect sense to our brand.”
