PHOENIX–America First Credit Union said it has become the Official Credit Union of Phoenix Rising FC, a professional soccer team that plays in the USL Championship League.

As part of the partnership, America First Credit Union said it will be featured on the club’s training tops, launch an exclusive Phoenix Rising Visa Debit Card and be the presenting partner for the club’s “Out of School” match against Monterey Bay FC on May 17.

“Our partnership with Phoenix Rising underscores the importance we place on supporting organizations that bring people together and that exemplify the unique spirit of the city,” Tammy Gallegos, EVP-chief strategic engagement officer at America First Credit Union. “We look forward to being a part of an exciting season which we know will bring so much joy to fans and to the community alike.”

‘Goals for Good’

According to Sandy, Utah-based America First, unique to the partnership is “Goals for Good,” an initiative whereby America First Credit Union will make a monetary donation to one of Rising’s partner charities for every goal scored by a Rising player in the 2025 season. 

Additionally, America First Credit Union will be the official partner of Phoenix Rising Member Cards. 

“Brand new in 2025, the cards can be used in-stadium for exclusive member discounts at concessions as well as in the team store,” the credit union said.
