“The passion around soccer in this country continues to grow, and
partnerships like this help turn that energy into experiences fans can
actually see, touch and be part of,” said U.S. Soccer Chief Commercial
Officer David Wright. "These amenity kits are a creative way for American
Airlines to celebrate the summer of soccer and help fans carry that
excitement with them, from the airport to the stadium and everywhere in
between.”

skincare designed to refresh customers throughout their travel journey. Each
