adidas continues to create unique experiences that just can’t be denied. This go around they present “The Association.”
What Is It?
It’s a five versus five influencer soccer league built around merging street soccer, art, music, and fashion during a 10-week season at the adidas soccer L.A. Base. Based in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles. Teams were selected to represent the rich diversity in the area and with the intent to form a curated union of brands and influencers to present a one of a kind soccer league experience.
Who’s Down
The eight founding teams of The Association inaugural season represent: Beats by Dre which is fielding “The Defiant Ones FC” and Complex who are participating as “The Marauders.” Folks like Jason Markk, Dash Radio, SpaceX, Niky’s Sports and Red Bull are also putting teams in the mix. Yeah, some heavy hitters people!
Where & When Does It Go Down
adidas soccer L.A. Base is located at 352 N. Ave. 21 and it truly is an impressive classic industrial warehouse. The arena offers over 17,000 square feet with two fields making for the best possible indoor futsal experience.
