Sporting Kansas City

Introducing the Sporting U NIL Athletes!

Designed to provide a platform for Sporting Kansas City to celebrate and interact with homegrown student-athletes on college campuses across the Midwest region who have excelled in their sports, the inaugural class is comprised of five talented KC-area natives joining their Hometown Club.

Sporting is excited to offer student-athletes the opportunity to grow their brand and support their pursuit of professional careers both on and off the field.

Sporting U NIL Athletes receive a financial stipend for social media engagement as well as tickets for Sporting KC home matches and merchandise from SportingStyle. The club’s investment in the Sporting U NIL program also includes further value for student-athletes through assistance with strategic marketing and brand building campaigns in addition to professional development resources, including mentorship and networking connections.

We are excited to collaborate with student-athletes throughout the Midwest. Learn more on how to join the Sporting U NIL program here.

The Sporting U NIL Program is the second major initiative introduced by Sporting Kansas City for college students in 2023. The Sporting U Pass provides students at more than 240 universities across the country the opportunity to purchase $15 tickets in the Supporters’ Stand at Children’s Mercy Park for Sporting KC home matches.
