Yaamava' Resort teams up with Angel City FC to empower Inland Empire youth

Yaamava' Resort and Casino has become an official partner of Angel City Football Club (ACFC). The collaboration will focus on supporting youth in the Inland Empire through sports and education. Both organisations have highlighted their shared commitment to community development.

The partnership was announced with enthusiasm from both sides. Rikki Tanenbaum, COO of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians—which operates Yaamava'—stated that the casino is delighted to work with ACFC due to their aligned values. Jessica Smith, ACFC's head of revenue, also expressed pride in the deal, emphasising the club's goal to create a positive impact in the region.

As part of the agreement, a soccer clinic for 150 young players will take place in San Bernardino. The event will include equipment donations to a local sports programme. Additionally, a series of soccer camps will be organised to provide training and personal development for youth in local schools.

One of the first initiatives under this partnership will see a local Inland Empire youth team attend an ACFC game as VIP guests. The club's sponsorship model will also be activated, ensuring that charitable efforts reach the Inland Empire community.

The partnership between Yaamava' and Angel City FC will bring new opportunities for young athletes in the Inland Empire. Through soccer clinics, training camps, and equipment donations, the collaboration aims to promote physical activity and education. The first initiatives are already underway, with more planned for the coming months.
