Foley & Lardner LLPは、男女サッカー、国内リーグ、国際トーナメントをカバーする大手メディアネットワークであるMen In Blazers Media Networkの代理人として、1500万ドルのシリーズA資金調達ラウンドに参加した。このラウンドはAvenue Sports Fundが主導し、Bolt Ventures、RR McReynolds、The Chernin Group、Ryan Sports Ventures、Wheelhouseが追加投資した。
The new capital will allow Men In Blazers Media Network to expand its coverage ahead of the 2026 Men’s World Cup, which will be hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. It will also support efforts to scale programming, including both short-form and long-form content, to meet the growing demand for soccer content across all demographics in America. Additionally, the funding will enable the launch of a new Hispanic content platform, Vamos, led by former USMNT player Herculez Gomez, and the continued growth of its women’s soccer vertical, The Women’s Game.
With these initiatives, Men In Blazers Media Network is poised to deliver deeper insights, more compelling stories, and broader content that celebrates the game of soccer. This investment marks a significant step forward in the network’s mission to cover the sport across the United States and beyond.
The Foley team was led by corporate partner Von Bryant, along with partner Jon Israel, co-chair of the firm’s Sports & Entertainment Group, partner Stephen Good, and associate Bréia Maddox.
