Online panel on Growth of North American Soccer features in fundraiser for UNICEF & India Pandemic Response Fund

TAMPA, Fla. – United Soccer League executive Josh Keller will be a guest speaker in a panel discussion on the Growth of North American Soccer, part of this week’s online Sponsorship Connect series. In addition to bringing together a collection of top front office executives in North American soccer, the series of panels is also serving as a fundraiser for UNICEF and the India Pandemic Response Fund, which is currently working to aid those affected by COVID-19 in the country.

A former professional player who made almost 100 appearances in Major League Soccer during his career, Keller has since moved into the sport’s front office, where he has made a significant impact on the growth of the USL off the field. Keller joined the USL in 2017 and has played a key role in securing national partnerships that have driven increased revenues for the organization and its clubs, including the USL’s Preferred Supplier program that has helped make world-class goods and service organizations part of gameday for clubs across the USL ecosystem.

Keller will be joined on the panel, to be held on Friday at 1 p.m. ET, by Kay Bradley, the Director of Brand & Fan Experience at U.S. Soccer, Heidi Pellerano, CCO of CONCACAF, Mallika Pereira, the VP of Partnership Marketing at Major League Soccer, and Allie Ayres, the Director of Partnership Strategy & Marketing for the National Women’s Soccer League.
