(PHOENIX) March. 9, 2018 – Phoenix Rising FC and Carvana, a leading eCommerce platform for buying used cars, announced today a multi-year contract naming Carvana as the new front of jersey sponsor for the 2018-2020 seasons. Carvana’s logo will first appear on the front of the jerseys at the season opener at Orange County SC on Saturday, March 17.

“We are honored to be partnering with such an innovative and forward-thinking company such as Carvana,” said Bobby Dulle, Chief Operating Officer for Phoenix Rising FC. “Their business philosophy is a lot like ours, and we are both in rapid growth phases, so it is a perfect partnership.

Now, as partners, fulfilling that promise together is even more meaningful.”
