U.S. Soccer’s “BEND THE CURVE. STAY AT HOME.” Campaign Takes Off
To support and emphasize what medical experts advise is the most important way to combat the spread of COVID-19, U.S. Soccer launched the “BEND THE CURVE. STAY AT HOME” campaign on April 1, 2020.
As America’s soccer federation, U.S. Soccer is taking a leadership position and has kicked off a passionate campaign harnesses the dedication, and commitment of the soccer community to help spread awareness of this critical message.
The program will include free professional development lectures from high-performance experts.
From the U.S. Soccer Release:
“Our goal with our “BEND THE CURVE. STAY AT HOME.” campaign is to reinforce to the soccer community that the single most important message to help us get through these challenging times is to make sure people STAY AT HOME to bend, and eventually, flatten the curve of COVID-19 cases,” said U.S. Soccer Chief Medical Officer Dr. George Chiampas.
To energize the “BEND THE CURVE. STAY AT HOME.” campaign, U.S. Soccer will share graphics and video highlights from memorable goals and free kicks on all of its social media accounts. The Federation will also be partnering with key stakeholders across the soccer community, including current and former U.S. players, to amplify the message and deliver the real meaning to the phrase One Nation. One Team.
The United Soccer League (USL) has jumped on to help spread awareness of this critical message. Doing their part to help flatten the curve, the USL announced on Wednesday that clubs from across the Championship will be donating merchandise proceeds during the month of April to local charities.
This weekend will also see the launch of a new online series, Coffee at Home, where USL host Kelsi Steele, Senior Manager, Social Media at United Soccer Leagues LLC and others speak with interesting people from around the USL about their life, soccer, and their experiences at home during the COVID-19 crises.
In addition, the 32 teams from the Championship and League One competing in the USL eCup: Rocket League Edition, which kicked off on Wednesday afternoon on ESPN Digital Platforms, are also raising money on behalf on local charities to help relief efforts in their communities. You can find a full list of all the great organizations benefitting from the event here.
As part of the “BEND THE CURVE. STAY AT HOME.” initiative, U.S. Soccer is creating opportunities for fans to connect with and celebrate the sport while safely at home.
